Please help me with slang..

Greetings....:-) ,

I have now a lot of free time(vacation) so I decided to translate one episode of my favourite TV show...:-) I didn't come across to any problems during the whole episode, but three minutes before the end, there is one slang phrase, which I have no idea what it means...Emotion: crying

Context:

Forensic is questioning the black rapper:

Forensic: This bruise on her body matches the heel of your buddy's dress shoe. (No problem for me)

Rapper: Man, forensics be jammin'a brother up. (Please what red marked text means???)

Forensic: No doubt. And you saw him do it. (Of course, no problem again)

Please what does it mean? I believe it's slang, which guys from America have to known...;-)..Thank you in advance.

cheers

Forensics (the science of studying what remains to determine what happened)
One of the participants in the dialog seems to be named Forensic (no s), so what does this explanation of forensics (with an s) have to do with the jammin' a brother part?

I am definitely not following this thread. Is Forensic a person, a robot, or a mistaken spe

Jim, does this mean you are not a CSI fan?

Here's another translation: Alas, it seems this science will be the downfall of my companion!
