John Touwslager (December 21, 1968 – June 9, 2005), better known as Papa Touwtjie, was a Surinamese reggae artist and rapper. He is considered one of the most influential reggae artists in Suriname.

After his release from prison at the beginning of the 1990s, he began a music career and recorded his first album Gangster. He was thus the first dancehall rapper in the Sranan language. His music was mainly listened by the youth from the poor neighborhoods.[1]

In 1992, Papa Touwtjie had six hits on the Surinamese radio, including the track Mi no wan go na Santo Boma. In 1997, on the fortieth anniversary of the Surinamese newspaper De Ware Tijd, he was awarded the trotyi grani, an award for a trendsetter.[2]

His rude lyrics about street life were not appreciated by everyone. Even parliamentary questions were made. Eventually, he made more than ten albums. As a result of a family dispute, he died of a gunshot wound in June 2005.[1]
