We are siked to announce the return of our most epic live Hiphop showcase: Know The Ledge: The Prototypes Live. It has been a minute, but now we are coming in strong. Start marking all your calendars for 20 October 2023 as we kick-off Kunsthal’s first edition of Friday Night LIVE by celebrating 50 years of Hiphop with 2 powerhouses. All the way from US, is internationally renowed DJ Trauma. You may know him as the official tour DJ for legendary comedian Dave Chappelle or as the headline DJ for Jay-Z & Beyonce’s Baby Shower, and many more. Repping Holland’s local talent in an epic way is multi-talented musician, Bnnyhunna. As he continues to set the bar high, this Ghanaian kid in South-East Amsterdam will effortlessly claim his role as musical director & co-composer of Know The Ledge this fall.
MOVING SOUNDS | 17.00 | OUTSIDE
To immediately get into the vibe of the event, Hiphophuis will place the Moving Sounds bus in front of the entrance of the Kunsthal on October 20, especially 'for the occasion'. Moving Sounds is a collaboration between Sony Music and Hiphophuis to promote Rotterdam talents via a mobile music studio. Expect super dope DJs who will play all your favorite Hip-Hop tracks. Eargasms guaranteed!
FILM SCREENING: LOVE & HIP HOP BY CHARMAINE WARTES | 17:00 | AUDITORIUM
(duration: 23min)
Love & Hip Hop is a short movie in which the theme love is displayed with the help of a storyline, a Hip Hop mix that contributes to the story and snippets of Hip Hop (and RnB) related music videos to visualize it all.
At the same time, the short movie shows how the genre developed itself and which artists have played a role in that. You can find hints of that by seeing the artists or hearing the songs, or by knowing about the samples or producers, without it interrupting the story of Derrick and Maleeka. This makes it the perfect ode to and celebration of Hip Hop!
HIP HOP TALK | 19:00 | AUDITORIUM
Want to claim some knowledge? We got you! Moderator Kim Dankoor will talk to various founders who have made an important contribution to building the Rotterdam Hip Hop scene. Expect a powerful conversation with guest speakers: DJ Git Hype, Alee Rock and The Anonymous Mis (Postman), a.k.a Remon Stotijn. Join the conversation ‘cause gems will definitely be dropped!
MAIN ACT: KNOW THE LEDGE SHOWCASE | 20:45 | AUDITORIUM
