GRAZZHOPPA’S 50TH BIRTHDAY

A true living legend, Grazzhoppa is considered the godfather of Belgian hip-hop. Around 1984, he was infected by the Hip-Hop virus. At the end of the 80s, he founded Rhyme Cut Core with the rapper TLP, with whom he released the first Hip-Hop record in the Flemish region in 1993. That same year, he made his first cuts on a vinyl record by the London rapper Blade. He then evolved within the RAB crew (Brussels) and the Brick 9000 label (Ghent). From then on, Grazzhoppa has multiplied his appearances and collaborations on more than 450 media (vinyls, CDs and cassettes). In 2020, Grazzhoppa ‘celebrated’ his 35th career anniversary, albeit very modestly. His 50th anniversary on this ellipsoid was therefore the perfect opportunity for Melodiggerz to properly celebrate his Grandmaster status!

VAUX-HALL 2021 – FLASHBACK

In December 2020, amid the global health crisis, the City of Brussels launched a call for original artistic projects to propose special concepts for Friday nights at the Vaux-Hall in summer 2021. Melodiggerz decided to participate.

Our project was selected to animate 5 Fridays during the summer :

Unforgettable moments, exchanges, dancing, laughter, sunshine (yes… sunshine in Belgium) and good collaboration with excellent partners…
