The group Zwart Licht, consisting of producer Hayzee and MC Akwasi, has received the green light from record boss Kees de Koning and wants to prove itself with the CD Bliksemschicht. The idea behind the group's name was that they wanted to put the black in a good light. The contradiction was intentional. One cannot but wait for a record with a lot of depth. In terms of production, Hayzee is supported
… by beat makers such as SirOJ, FS Green and Reverse. Unfortunately, this diversity in producers means that the CD comes across as a number of collected tracks, instead of a homogeneous album. Lyrically, however, the listener is not abandoned. Despite the fact that certain puns seem forced - when they are not childishly simple - Akwasi manages to get his point across. The vocals sometimes sound a bit amateurish and thus detract from the message. Bliksemschicht is certainly not a very strong Dutch-language hip-hop record, but it is an interesting one. (GL)more
