We are siked to announce the return of our most epic live Hiphop showcase: Know The Ledge: The Prototypes Live. It has been a minute, but now we are coming in strong.

All the way from US, is internationally renowed DJ Trauma.

FILM SCREENING: LOVE & HIP HOP BY CHARMAINE WARTES | 17:00 | AUDITORIUM
(duration: 23min)
Love & Hip Hop is a short movie in which the theme love is displayed with the help of a storyline, a Hip Hop mix that contributes to the story and snippets of Hip Hop (and RnB) related music videos to visualize it all.
At the same time, the short movie shows how the genre developed itself and which artists have played a role in that. You can find hints of that by seeing the artists or hearing the songs, or by knowing about the samples or producers, without it interrupting the story of Derrick and Maleeka. This makes it the perfect ode to and celebration of Hip Hop!
HIP HOP TALK | 19:00 | AUDITORIUM
Want to claim some knowledge? We got you! Moderator Kim Dankoor will talk to various founders who have made an important contribution to building the Rotterdam Hip Hop scene. Expect a powerful conversation with guest speakers: DJ Git Hype, Alee Rock and The Anonymous Mis (Postman), a.k.a Remon Stotijn. Join the conversation ‘cause gems will definitely be dropped!

AFTERPARTY + EXTRA’S | 22:00 | CAFE
Throughout the entire night you can buy cocktails & delicious American street food (incl. vegan + halal options) at the bar, enjoy fresh tunes by DJ Cutnice and Maey, all while vibing with those who we’ve claimed as our family.
