ESNS:
2014
If you're ever in the Dutch town of Hoofddorp and you see a bunch of guys waiting in line by someone's house then you know you've arrived at the crib of Boaz van de Beatz, producer extraordinaire. The people waiting in line are some of Holland's best rappers and members of Boaz' Nouveau Riche collective, and they're all waiting for Boaz to give them a beat to rap on. The 24-year old producer has a distinctive sound of hip-hop, trap, house, grime and dubstep that is totally unique. His own music is released on both Diplo's Mad Decent label and on Afrojack's Wall label and he's also worked with RedOne.
