John Samuels, or Just John, is one half of the Canadian hip hop duo out of Toronto Just John x Dom Dias with producer Dominique Dias. They connected through Instagram in 2018 and have released an EP trilogy as well as a full-length album together. You may recognize their song “Soundboi”, which was used as the Toronto Raptors’ 2019 NBA playoffs official anthem.

As a solo artist, John originally found success while working in Toronto’s DIY art scene and working with Blank Canvas, an art collective that provides platforms to marginalized groups.

He recently released a short film and EP, both called This is Fate, and describes his music as a fusion of modern rap with punk, metal, hardcore, and other styles.
