Just B

Heralded over time as one of Western Canada’s leading hip hop voices, Just B’s goal of creating conscious, quality music has never wavered. From paying his dues streetwise in countless freestyle battles to collaborations with the likes of the Lifesavas, DJ Vadim, Swollen Members and Moka Only, Just B has proven his ability through and through.
With his new album “The Chronicles of William Wallets” Just B is sure to hit home with independent heads around the globe. This project proves to be different from anything else he’s ever done. Just B’s sound serves as the perfect summation of every aspect that makes him such a rarity amongst the excess-laden caricatures that seem to dominate the hip hop world. Just B repeatedly promotes ambition over adversity and a sense of community over self adoration. With the production talents of Moka Only, Dj Murge, Jules Chaz, Scorpio61 and Just B himself, diversity grips this project like the jaws of an enraged pit-bull. The album comes across like a cool rain in the middle of a heat wave to leave listeners refreshed and waiting for more.
Just B spent his early years recording numerous songs and underground “tapes” carefully developing his distinctive sound. DJ Murge and Just B worked side by side to create one of Canada’s most explosive teams. Just served his performance apprenticeship at Western Canada’s longest running hip hop club night “Stirfry”; playing along side many other talented artists for over six years. These artists included Nelly Furtado, Kardinal Official, Mix Master Mike, De La Soul and many, many more.
Recently, Just B, DJ Murge, Ishkan, and Ashleigh Eymann have formed a group called “The Current” and are working to finish their first release together under that name. Just B and Ishkan vocals meld together as if they shared the same blood. And who could deny the North West’s magic beat smith DJ Murge who’s responsible for a large majority of the production and general direction. And of course, the Current would not be complete without Ashleigh Eymann who accentuates the work with keys and vocals bringing in a feminine aspect which is often left behind in a mainly machismo art form. Watch for the upcoming album entitled “Now and When”.
Whether it is raising awareness of international issues which he deems to be of importance or a commentary on the nightlife’s psychological mazes or his deeply sincere monologues, Just B breathes his lengthy turbulent history onto a resume that is seemingly overflowing with potential. As the collective patience of avid hip-hop listeners across Canada grows thinner and thinner, Just B is sure to bring a much needed shift that will satisfy the hunger of those who have been starving for something that leaps off the beaten path.
