After two multi-stage festival editions, Rapsalon returns on 25 April in a more intimate form.

More intimate in terms of capacity only, with all concerts taking place in our Club, without compromising on energy. Still very much Rapsalon, only closer to the skin and right in your face. We knocked at Bizanders door to curate the acts from start to finish. 

Bizanders is a Brussels collective that organises concerts and workshops, and intentionally builds bridges between emerging local talent and established artists. For this edition, they take charge of the full programme with a line-up rooted in diversity, storytelling and artistic depth. 

Dutch-language hip-hop has a place in Brussels. And we believe in Belgian artists feeding that scene, growing it, and pushing it forward. So, let’s come together again as a community and keep the momentum going. 

On the bill: five artists who each define hip-hop in their own way. Different voices from different generations, but all hip-hop.

PEPE 
Antwerp hip-hop legend and back in full force. Raw and introspective, but always pushing forward: timeless beats, passionate delivery, no filler.

OSOZALE 
Trap, reggaeton and boom bap collide in a multilingual sound without borders. He switches languages like he switches moods: fast, fearless, and straight from the gut. 

SOSOTYSHA 
A Brussels-based singer with Congolese roots, balancing R&B, soul and alternative influences. Expect warmth and intimacy live, with lyrics that land close.

SICTISU 
Dutch-speaking and sharp-eyed. He turns personal reflections and everyday observations into songs with real storytelling power. 

JAY MNG
Bilingual, raw and precise. He transforms Brussels reality and inner contradictions into authentic raps that hit with clarity.
