Quick, name your favourite Canadian Rapper.

Honestly I know only one and that was that guy that called himself Snow that sang "Informer", That's your homework. Look up Informer by Snow... If you watched MTV in the 90s back when they actually played Music Videos then chances are you probably had this catchy tune stuck in your head at some stage. (Don't deny it, it was a catchy song)

Alright I'll do it for you:


Now Jon Lajoie isn't just a rapper, he honestly deserves the title of musician. He has made his living from the songs he releases on YouTube, his most popular releases are just his rap songs. But it's just the normal rap you'd be use to in the Music Industry that tells tale of wayward youth and their "struggle". Jon specialises in a kind of loser middle class white awkward nerd style of music with a strange misogynist twist of satire.

I think Jon realises the internet is a place full of idiots and know-it-alls where the line between genius and moronic can be blurry at times. His music is so awkwardly offensive and ridiculous that it's delivered in such a way that the irony and satire isn't lost. Due to the fact that a he is dressed in Jean shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and 5 dollar sunglasses and gloats about his sexual prowess and gangsterly defiance of laws.







Jon doesn't just make offensively awkward rap songs though, His other songs showcase his song writing talents and outspoken passion about music as he criticises the state of Popular Mainstream music ironically in "Pop Song" and "Radio Friendly Song"





His 2 albums are available for purchase at iTunes HERE,

Whilst being a internet celebrity, rapper, singer and comedian he branched out to television and has a regular role in FX's show "The League" where he plays Taco McArthur who is Unemployed Stoner Musician.

Jon is a talented man and his career is still rising, even though he has millions of followers online and many new fans thanks to the League his career can only go on to bigger and better things.

I leave you with his sketch about Hands!
