Today maverick hip hop duo Just John x Dom Dias drop their new highly anticipated conceptual PROJECT release. Following on the heels of their critically-acclaimed Don II and Don III EP’s – which earned them rave reviews across a wide range of media platforms including VICE, The Fader, Lyrical Lemonade, XXL, Complex, Elevator Mag, Now Magazine, CBC – it was while touring and being invited to participate in promotional campaigns for the NBA champion Toronto Raptors, and the world renowned Gucci brand, that the thrilling tag team combo began cooking up some of their best music to date.
PROJECT is a nine-piece body of work that thematically plays on the “anatomy” of Just John and Dom Dias’ music exploration, with each two minute song representing different body parts. Special guests include WondaGurl collaborator Jugger, Brooklyn’s own Chelsea Reject, Travis Morton, and rising rap star NorthSideBenji who ups the ante on the “Minutia” remix.
The duo’s aim with this project was to intentionally utilize medical themes and constructs to not only move your ears, but your body and energy. “This body of work has my energy in it as much as it has my heart,” explains the duo’s charismatic rapper. “I wanted to see how conceptual we could get with a project, from both a sonic and visual standpoint. I think what people will take away from this project is the power of being yourself and pulling from your life as the best source material.” Regarding the futuristic soundscapes, Dom Dias adds: “this record was designed to sound like a trap Quentin Tarantino movie.”
