We've started this year with a bang and our first performance as a band. It felt really good to finally show you all what we've been working on and we would like to thank everybody that faced the snow to come see us perform.

Show in Hoogeloon

The St Joris orchestra gave a annual concert in Hoogeloon yesterday. The concept was St Joris & Friends so they asked me to appear on one song with Rochelle (winner of X Factor 2011).

We performed our own version of the song "Crazy in Love" and the crowd fell in love with it. It turned out to be a successful evening thanks to the crowd, orchestra and guest appearances by many wonderful artists. The picture below gives you a small impression of the show.

A little more than a month ago I decided to launch this website and put out some new music on Soundcloud. Since then my tracks have been played 2000 times and downloaded over 200 times, which is great.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for this support and tell you there is still so much more to come. I'm working on various new projects and songs at the moment, plus I'm rehearsing with my band to bring these songs to a stage near you. 

I'll keep you up to date on the progress I make with these projects and rehearsals and I'll keep putting out new tracks. So again thank you all for the support and keep an eye out for more to come!

Semwise x Raszz - The Night Is On My Mind

As a lot of you may know Skaffaboy no longer exists as a group. That doesn't mean that we stopped making music though. I recorded this song with Raszz a while ago and we continue to work on songs and projects together.

So sit back after a hard day of work and play this song cause we know the night is on your mind as well. Salute!

As promised, I'm releasing a new track today. Since I was born in 1988, considered by many as the golden age, I tried to tell a story about me using titles of Hip Hop albums released in in that year. The video below illustrates that a little better and hopefully takes you back for a second.

You can also download the track for free by clicking here.

1988

I've been in the studio today recording a short track about 1988. This is the year I was born and a lot of people consider this period to be the heyday of Hip Hop. Artist like NWA, Run DMC and Public Enemy were building a foundation for Hip Hop to become as succesful as it is today.

I don't necessarily think music in those days was better than it is now but I still feel like I need pay my respect to those who came before me.

I'll upload this track on friday, so stay tuned for a new tune.
