Dutch hip hop
Like France, the Netherlands has an African hip hop scene. Rap groups from Cape Verde, a Portuguese-speaking island off the coast of West Africa have been living there. These rappers were E-Life, The Real Vibe, and the Postmen. The Postmen rap in English, adding a hip hop and reggae flavor. Two of the members are from Cape Verde and one of them is from Suriname, a Dutch-speaking country in South America. The Netherlands is also home to the Rumba-Kali, an African hip hop magazine.
Another important Dutch hip hop crew is the Osdorp Posse. The Urban Dance Squad, though not a hip hop crew, were the first European band to rap [1].
In 1986, Dutch rap duo MC Miker G & Deejay Sven had a top 10 hit across Europe with "Holiday Rap", which sampled Madonna's "Holiday".
