Jasmin Fazlić (born 16 October 1986), better known by his stage name Jala Brat, is a Bosnian rapper. He represented Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 together with Dalal Midhat-Talakić, Deen and Ana Rucner. He is the co-author of the 2016 Bosnian Eurovision entry "Ljubav je". He performed the song during the first semi-final of the competition on May 10, 2016, but failed to qualify to the May 14 final.
He is the founder member of hip-hop group BluntBylon from Sarajevo and co-founder of the music studio Red Eye Vision in Vogošća. He's mostly known for his work alongside Bosnian rapper Buba Corelli, with whom he has over 30 songs, including two albums (Pakt s Đavolom and Kruna) and one EP (SA Sin City).
In the summer of 2016, Jala announced he would run as a candidate for the Bosniak nationalist Party of Democratic Action (SDA) in Bosnia's 2016 municipal elections.
Jala started making rap music in 2004 at his improvised house-studio. Later, he formed a Hip hop group Bluntbylon with Smayla and several other members. Their career started mostly on YouTube. He also made a few solo-works at that period. In 2011, he released his first EP Replay, on which his first song with Buba Corelli appeared.
