Biography
Diemen, Amsterdam, Netherlands (2004 – present)
Lange Frans & Baas B (“Tall Frans & Boss B”) was a Dutch hip hop duo.
Both Lange Frans (alias of Frans Frederiks) and Baas B (alias of Bart Zeilstra) grew up in Diemen, Netherlands.
In 1997 they formed D-Men. The English pronunciation of “D-Men” is similar to the Dutch pronunciation of the name of their home town. As D-Men they released their first single in 1999, which was called Zoveel Mensen (“So Many People”), and they won a talent hunt that was organised by Stichting Grap (“Joke Foundation”) in 2001. In 2003 D-Men was joined by the artists Brace, Yes-R & Soesi B, Negativ and DJ MBA. During this time D-Men acquired some fame within the underground hip hop scene of Amsterdam. They released the albums Straat Remixes deel 1 en Straat Remixes deel 2 (Street Remixes part 1 and 2). The single Je Bil from part 1 got promoted on Radio 3 by DJ Timor.
Lange Frans & Baas B started to release singles as a duo in 2004. Their second single Moppie (“Babe”) became a huge hit. Though they performed as a duo, the chorus of this song was sung by Brace. Their third single Zinloos (“Senseless”), a protest against so-called senseless violence (random street violence without a clear reason or sprung from minor incidents — currently a hot topic in the Netherlands), became a number one hit in the Dutch charts at the end of the same year. On this track they were joined by singer Ninthe.
