Hef, an Antillean Dutchman from Hoogvliet, has been making waves on the internet since 2008 with his street traps. His success is even greater when Noah's Ark releases his mixtape Lifting Power (2010). Successors Papierwerk (2012) and 13 (2015) make him one of the biggest rappers in the Netherlands.
Yet his songs continue to be about the hard life on the street. Not to be tough, because Hef is honest… about all the poverty and misery in his world. And also about the togetherness and the fun sides. He is straightforward and his humor is dry. The public recognizes this and appreciates it.more
