ho! wait! first I have to post this!

Wai-wai-wait! before I post all of this stuff I've got to represent Rotredame first. This city has got everything, except for international recognition. But that makes it so unique. Rotterdam was bombed almost completely during WWII, so not there are not many historic buildings left. The harbour has also attracted a lot of people and due to immigration about half of the city's population is not originally Dutch. I love it. It's beauty is not obvious, you have to know and you have to live here to fully apreciate what Roffa is all about. There are a bunch of local rappers who have made it to the national top. U-niq, Winne and the other 'Westkruiskade-straatsoldaten' have lived within 5 minutes from where I live now; Middelland, Oude Westen.
First a clip to represent Rotredame:

U-niq - Rotterdam (Remix)

In that one you already see some of the streets in my area, but the next one was actualy shot on and around my street:

Winne - Lotgenoot

Sorry, wish I could have posted these clips directly, but they are disabled by the record label.

Steen Tee


Steen, the rapper I briefly mentioned in my last post, brought out a tee about a year ago now, still very cool. You should know I'm not a fan of tees with a print, but you've got to like this one. The book he made is also maaad! It consist of his personal collection of lost-cats-flyers.. craaazy haha!
Unfortunately, neither the tee nor the book are available anymore. He's got a new tee though, but it's not really much to cheer for.

classic; The Streets - Dreams

It's been a while since I've listened to any tune of The Streets, it seems like he was bigger before, performing at all these big festivals. Don't know what's going on with him nowadays, but I stumbled upon this beauty on U2B. For me this is the ultimate neutral-mood song. Good when you're doing nothing, or something like cooking, cleaning, studying, ah well, you get it; all the stuff I do so often ;) Enjoy:



p.s. Don't you think he's got a Collie Buddz look going on at 0.40? and at 0.56 we see Steen, not to mention Fjèze Furr at 0.21...
