Amsterdam, Netherlands (1988 – 2009)

Osdorp Posse was a five-piece hardcore rap crew from the Dutch capitol Amsterdam, consisting of four mc’s: Def P (main rapper), Seda (rapper & beatcreator), IJsblok (rapper & manager) and King (rap, also known as ‘ Koning’ in the early days), and one DJ: Deegmeester Daan, who joined the group in 2000. They were known for their hardcore attitude, in your face lyrics, and explosive live shows.

One of the group’s trademarks was the experimentation with Dutch lyrics, which resulted the (back then) four piece in being the first ever crew in The Netherlands to release a complete demo in their native language. This turned out to be the start of a new genre they still call ‘Nederhop’ to this day, a term consisting of the words “Nederlandse” (Dutch) and “Hip-Hop”.

The start of Osdorp Posse can be tracked back as far as 1986, when Def P (real name Pascal Griffioen) made his debut on the Dutch hip-hop scene with the group Funky Fresh Force, consisting of him and DJ Dov, who would later become a famous House DJ under the pseudonym DJ The Prophet.

In 1988 Griffioen started experimenting with Dutch lyrics as a joke (translating American rap lyrics from groups such as N.W.A.), and a creative exercise (writing a couple of ‘real’ songs). His nephew Marco (later on taking on the nickname IJsblock – a literal translation of N.W.A.’s infamous Ice Cube) joined in the musical tomfoolery, as they recorded raps on instrumental tracks from their record collection, using nothing but a tape deck and a microphone.

    Best lekker album, Tegenstrijd. Al klopt die eigen recensie in 'Recensisme' toch ook wel een beetje. ;)

    Ik hou van (te) hard beukende beats. Niet van die glijmiddelhiphop...
