Justyce has been a long-time Metalheadz resident MC and as such has toured the globe alongside the likes of Goldie and Doc Scott, among regular gigs with many other big names, such as DJ Randall who has MC Justyce to be his USA tour MC in 2008. Justyce is known to let the music do the talking and to step in at the right moment to add his unique lyrics and create flow that perfectly complements the DJ. Thanks to his versatility he can perform with the various styles and djs that drum'n'bass has to offer.
MC Justyce was born into a Jamaican family in Tottenham and grew up with Reggae as his main musical influence. In the early 90s when the young Jungle scene started, he was a well-known face at parties such as Bassbox, Elevation and Eruption. This is where he studied his first main influence, MC MC, at work and where he got to know and Kemistry & Storm as well as Goldie.
He wanted to be part of this scene and had various MCing and DJing performances. His breakthrough however were his performances at the East London Pirate Radio station, Defection. Shortly after he had his first gig with DJ Rap in 1992. It was a promising beginning but at the end of 1993 he decided to take a break and gave up both DJing and MCing.
In 1996 Justyce returned to the spotlight. Two of his friends regularly played at the Metalheadz Sunday Sessions at The Bluenote club in London. After attending there regularly Justyce decided it was time to return to MCing. One night in July 1996, Cleveland Watkiss , who was a resident there at the time, missed his gig. Goldie invited Justyce to step in for Cleveland at the packed venue. Since then, MC Justyce has been an official Metalheadz MC. His talent, his style, and his unique feeling for the flow of music makes him makes him a well-respected MC. Roni Size, Goldie, Doc Scott and many other big names have at one time or another requested Justyce as their MC of choice. Doc Scott, who by his own admission has never been a big fan of MCs, has always been the biggest supporter of Justyce, and they have toured the world together, combining their talents as the perfect union of music and lyrics.
Fifteen years later, Justyce is still pushing his lyrics and MCing alongside quality drum'n'bass pioneers who can appreciate his experience and ability to stand back and let the music breathe. Show less
