J ANDERS ISN’T JUST DROPPING MUSIC HE’S TAKING OVER!

Toronto artist J Anders has just released his latest single, and it’s doing exactly what the title promises taking over. With its vibrant blend of house and dancehall, “Take Over” is more than just a summer track. It’s a personal statement, a cultural nod, and a reminder of the grind that defines the city.

“I created this song to represent my identity,” says J Anders. “I wanted to show people what I’m about and that I always hold it down for my people around me no matter the circumstance.”

LISTEN TO J ANDERS “TAKE OVER”

From the moment the beat drops, you can feel the fusion of sounds rooted in Caribbean rhythm, Toronto culture, and global ambition. It’s the kind of genre-bending sound that’s become a staple of the city’s next wave. There’s movement in every kick, confidence in every bar, and warmth in every melody. It’s not trying to fit in  it’s building something new.

That approach reflects not just J Anders’ upbringing, but his influences too  artists like Drake, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Tory Lanez who’ve repped Toronto on a world stage while staying true to the local sound. J Anders is aiming to do the same: “I’ve got plans for many more singles throughout this summer and year that’ll lead into a big project. The goal is to have my songs resonate globally.”

“Take Over” taps into the energy of a city in motion gritty, multicultural, always pushing forward. It’s a song that sounds like late nights on Eglinton, parking lot linkups, and west-end pride. It’s not just music to vibe to it’s music to believe in.

If you’re looking for an anthem to carry through the summer, this might just be it.
