The Bapti$$ Delivers a Refreshing Fusion of Pop, RnB, and Acoustic Calm from Haida Gwaii with “Mister 808”

Raised in Saskatchewan and now residing on the archipelago of Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, The Bapti$$—the new musical project from multi-instrumentalist Joseph LaPlante—presents “Mister 808,” a raw and captivating track that blends the lush, soulful tones of acoustic guitars with the driving force of the iconic 808 bass drum. This new single is an ode to simplicity and the beauty of God's creation, capturing a sound that is as confident and peaceful as it is ambitious.

The Bapti$$, a project born from LaPlante's mid-career rebirth, marks a turning point in his artistic journey, and “Mister 808” encapsulates the essence of his growth. The song's narrative comes from LaPlante’s longstanding love for the 808 bass drum and his reverence for both family and faith. It’s a sonic reflection of the artist's world, melding the powerful foundation of the 808 with the introspective beauty of acoustic music.
