Glory Box

The original song from Portishead is one of my favorites, but this version is also great. The music, John Martyn's  old whiskey voice, the video: super combo. Give me a reason to love you. 

Crown Holderz

Muziek maken is heerlijk vooral als het eindproduct goed gelukt is en het je verwachting overtreft. Ik had deze track in eerste instantie gemaakt voor een Nederlandstalige rapper, hij vond de beat niet zo. Waar ik hem dankbaar voor ben, uiteindelijk heeft King David van Vendetta Kingz namelijk de beat geblessed en er een classic van gemaakt.

Fortunate Ones - Space Jam

Perfecte track voor een Friday night we gaan stappen vibe. Wie zijn het? Serge en Genetics. Wat weten we over ze? Het zijn Fortunate ones. Meer muziek van het duo op: http://toofortunate.com/

Wicked Games [Guitar Cover]

I can only say WOW. The original song is from the Weeknd, Mani D replaced the vocals with his guitar's voice. 

Evidence - Same Folks feat. Fashawn

Same Folks is a song from Evidence (born December 10, 1976 in Los Angeles, California), an American hip hop artist, producer, and member of the rap group Dilated Peoples. I love this song and video, reminds me of walking in New York on the crowded streets. On every streetcorner there are rappers and producers who try to sell there music. If you ask them to rhyme they will not hesitate, thats there way to get 10 dollar for there album. Those rappers are real 'hustlers', not by doing criminal stuff like selling drugs, but by selling music. 

The Weeknd - What You Need

The Weeknd is a Toronto-based singer named Abel Tesfaye.  His music is mellow Indy R&B that brings you to a dreamworld. The right music before bedtime.

CDL at Masta Ace in Almere Meester

DJ SMASH, DJ Krisuprocc and me at a live performance from Masta Ace in Almere Meester. Just like the old days at hiphop parties and battles. Although we're older, we still love the music and support the artists.

9 crimes

This is one of the saddest, but also one of the most beautiful duet songs ever. I get chills every single time I listen to it. Damien Rice and Lisa put so much pain and beauty in this song. I listened to this song on and on.

My top 3 Posse Tracks

La Fouine- Bafana, Bafana Remix 

Wu-Tang Clan - Proteckt your Neck

Wake Up Show

These are the 3 hardest posse tracks I know.

Ice Ice Baby HipHop

I remember really hating this guy as a Cypress and Public Enemy fan. But I lie when I say I didn't dance on this song on parties. This performance is actually good the old and the new one. 

The old one is like Justin Timberlake live rappin and dancing. Word to ya motha!

Mac Miller

New Kid on the Block Mac Miller is definitely a kid you should put your eyes on. He got Swag, Lyrics, beats and humor. Check out his Best Day Ever Album here and Enjoy some fresh HipHop like Cool Aid with cubes in the Summer.

Kernkoppen live with Kim Hoorweg

Dutch Live music straight from The Hague, a great performence.

Miguel

All I want is you 'live'

Miguel is a R&B artist that really stands out from all the slick Bobby's and Treysongerz. Especially lyrically and music wise. In his performances you really see the influence of Prince and D'Angelo. I knew him from choruses from rap songs with Blu & Exile, Raekwon and Asther Roth. After I checked his stunning debut album 'All I want is you' and his mix-tape 'Misschief' he became definitely one of my top 10 modern R&B artists.

 The official video 'Sure thing'

Cody Chesnutt

Cody Chesnutt is a Soul artist that people really have slept on, he is like a best kept secret. His closest brush with mainstream success was when The Roots remade a song from his album, "The Seed", for their album Phrenology.

If you have the opportunity to pick up his album the double LP entitled The Headphone Masterpiece, just do it! like Nike. The album was recorded on a 4-track cassette recorder in his bedroom recording studio. He recorded the whole album with only his Headphone, nowadays most Dutch kids have better recording devices in their baby room.

After almost 10 years still waiting for a real studio album of the man himself.

Live performance Soprano

A really great live performance from Soprano and band. My French isn't good enough to understand his words, but I'm definitely feeling it.

Car Freestyle

Its been a long time I've been blown away from a freestyle. Especially when I'm not at the spot. Enjoy Machine Gun Kelly and Youngblood flamez spitting in their car.

Domestic Transformer

Gary Chan a man who lived in Hong Kong in the same small apartment for over thirty years, transformed his tiny living space into an apartment with 24 different configurations. From a movie room, bedroom to a fully-equipped kitchen. Watch Gary easily configure his living space.

Transformer

In the Toys R Us NY I thought this was a big Transformer:

 But in China's Shenyang  there is a bigger one:

Dutch classic hiphop track

This track takes me back to my childhood. Big up to the MC's Tommy, Tim and the producer Presto.

Soul music

This incredible song is performed by Luther Ingram. We all know he's wrong, but I'm glad he don't wanna be right. Great voice, great music and I believe his words.

Affinity Chair

The chance that the 'Affinity Chair' from the young designer Ben Alun-Jones, will win prizes for comfort is really small, but it pulls off an impressive Eye Catch act.

Rango Trailer

A chameleon with the voice of Johnny Depp that aspires to be a washbuckling hero finds himself in a Western town plagued by bandits and is forced to literally play the role in order to protect it.

How to Scratch on the iPad

Scratching used to be a technique used to produce sounds by moving a vinyl record back and forth on a turntable while optionally manipulating the crossfader on a DJ mixer. Now it’s an iPad App.

Asian Hip Hop (MC'S)

First of all hip hop isn’t a thing about race. But a musical expression and artistic culture that is participated by all kinds of people. Unfortunately there are still a lot of preconceptions about the music. That it is a black thing or only for people who glorify gangster lifestyle and that it is the most woman unfriendly music. 

A lot has changed in the years. Hip-hop as a genre blew up and took mainstream in the music industry. To bad in the perspective of most people it is still a black thing. With the advent of the Internet age, Asian rappers were able to effectively self-promote, which was crucial for Asian artists who are generally overlooked by record labels.  

I would like to show some good Asian rappers, that you never hear on the radio or see on the television. For now only the MC/rapper next time the producers. Enjoy.
