In the season when AB celebrates hip-hop's 50th anniversary, BRDCST could not lag behind. These are the three phenomenal hip-hop acts you’ll discover at our most adventurous festival this year.

LIONSTORM - Friday 5 April

Enter LIONSTORM, in their own words, the very first queer rap act from The Netherlands. This duo from Amsterdam - Skerrie Sterrie and Vuige Muis – recently stormed the Dutch underground with their rebellious, activist hip-hop and punk about squirting and inspecting erections. "Lionstorm is raw, dirty, sexy, and confrontational", headlined Trouw. They already impressed last year at BRDCST, and they now return with brand new work.

Beans - Saturday 6 April

Beans is a founding member of the recently reunited Antipop Consortium, one of the most visionary hip-hop bands. His flow remains inimitable and unique. His latest album Zwaard was surprisingly canned by Finnish glitch-master Vladislav Delay. 

H31R - Saturday 6 April

And because all good things come in threes: enter H31R (read: heir/air), is a female New York rap duo consisting of JWords and maassai. Their latest album HeadSpace was released via Big Dada/Ninja Tune and reflects their “mutual desire to bridge the gap between hip-hop and electronic music.”
