Cesar Comanche and 9th Wonder first met in 1996 and founded the collective eighteen months later.
Little Brother's former road manager, Big Dho, founded the Hall of Justus music group in 2003, which provides an outlet for the artists in the collective. Releases by the collective have been released under the Hall of Justus name, including the Soldiers of Fortune compilation in 2006.
The collective seems to have splintered, as internal conflicts have led to the breakup of groups (for example, Little Brother) and general dissent within the Justus League. Also individual members have stated that the time of this collective has passed and that they have moved on, according to Chaundon in an online interview. Several members are still with 'Hall Of Justus, however the rest of the crew seems to have left and are pursuing separate musical endeavors.
Following the death of King Æthelberht of Kent in 616, Justus was forced to flee to Gaul, but was reinstated in his diocese the following year. In 624 Justus became Archbishop of Canterbury, overseeing the despatch of missionaries to Northumbria. After his death he was revered as a saint, and had a shrine in St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury.
Arrival in Britain
Justus was an Italian and a member of the Gregorian mission sent to England by Pope GregoryI. Almost everything known about Justus and his career is derived from the early 8th-century Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum of Bede. As Bede does not describe Justus' origins, nothing is known about him prior to his arrival in England. He probably arrived in England with the second group of missionaries, sent at the request of Augustine of Canterbury in 601. Some modern writers describe Justus as one of the original missionaries who arrived with Augustine in 597, but Bede believed that Justus came in the second group. The second group included Mellitus, who later became Bishop of London and Archbishop of Canterbury.
