John C

John C, born Juan Cruz López on August 13, 1999 in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina, is one of the founding voices of the Argentine trap and rap scene that exploded onto the wider Latin American map in the late 2010s. He began recording informally in 2016 with friends through a YouTube channel called JaranaBoys, an early, low-key hobby that laid the groundwork for a rapid rise once he started releasing solo material.

His 2019 single «C90» became a viral hit across South America and Spain, and its remix, featuring major Argentine trap figures such as Trueno, Neo Pistea, and Bhavi, racked up millions of views within a single day, firmly establishing him among the genre's new generation. That same year, a session with Bizarrap further cemented his standing as one of the defining new faces of Argentine urban music.

In the years that followed, John C built a catalog of collaborations that placed him alongside key names in Latin trap and pop, including «Yakuza» with Mesita, El Futuro Fuera de Orbita, and Blunted Vato, «Duele» with TINI, and a feature on the «Superman Sin Capa» remix. His sound blends melodic, hook-driven trap with rapid-fire rap verses, reflecting the broader Argentine scene's fusion of hip-hop rhythm with pop sensibility, and songs like «Gira», «Nike», and «Phone» continue to showcase his catchy, youth-oriented style.
