Down with Webster is a Canadian rap rock band from The Beaches area of Toronto who signed with Universal Motown in April 2009.

Down with Webster was originally formed for a middle school talent show. The band released their first official EP, Time to Win, Vol. 1, on October 6, 2009. The band has achieved success from all three singles from the album, and all three were certified Platinum in Canada. The album itself was certified Gold in Canada. Their second release, Time to Win, Vol. 2, was released on October 31, 2011. In 2014, they put out their second full-length album, Party For Your Life.

Down with Webster has sold over 50,000 albums and nearly 500,000 singles. The band has been nominated for Juno awards, MuchMusic Video Awards and Canadian Radio Music Awards.

Down with Webster was originally formed for a Glen Ames Sr Public school battle of the bands show in 1998 by band members Patrick "Pat" Gillet and Tyler Armes. In mid-2003, the band released an independent self-made six-track CDR EP entitled The Reverb Session July '03. This release was primarily sold at shows and local concerts from July 2003 to 2004. In 2006, the band played at the NXNE Festival and in 2007 released an independent self-titled album.

Former band member Kyle "Kap Oneoh" Fairlie was an actor in his youth. He played Rabbit in the TV series Franklin, and had a few other small film and television roles.

The band played at Lee's Palace in the 2008 Canadian Music Week. Their performance was described by Jill Langlois of Chart as "one of the best shows I've ever seen" and "the band exploded onto the stage and never slowed down or stopped. Words will never really describe the Down With Webster experience." The magazine described the band as "flashy and obnoxious, but fun and loveable". DWW was given a grade of 95 out of 100 by Chart for this performance.
