ASHES BABOE Holland | Suriname
Born frozen in a Surinam Hospital sometime in the early eighties, Ashes and his mother moved to the Netherlands after her husband was murdered in the brutal 1982 “December Murders” . Growing up in a suburban, seemingly “decent” city that has a lotta shit creepin’ beneath the surface, Ashes got to feel a lot of different levels of life.

Connectin’ with HipHop from backspinnin’ on cardboard boxes, and digging for dusty records, his love for the music finally got itself a voice. With tracks ranging from daily struggles to today’s politics, Ashes touches souls with his heartfelt words backed up by gritty drums and hacked up samples. So Keep Ya Eyes Open.
Ashes Baboe.

BS ONE Holland | Suriname
A two-man formation Pro-X and Reshmay working on R&B/HipHip productions. They met each other in a music studio while recording a song. BS-One exists for four years now and they already wrote a lot of songs with big “hit-potentials”. Meanwhile they have given a whole lof of succesfull performances in the Netherlands as well as in foreign countries.

Their spectaculair live show together with their hiphop dancers and breakdancers is compined with rap and singing.

For the BS-ONE clique dancing means a lot.  Their thoughts behind dancing is to bring a positive vibe: “While you’re dancing you got to express yourself and also throw out all negativity ”. Don’t hate, learn to apreciate. In other words you got to get krumped!!!!” The biggest source of inspiration for BS-ONE is “the world” because music comes in many forms, just like everyday life.
Reshmay takes care of the choreography. In June 2003 BS-ONE went to L.A., where Reshmay took classes from some of the famous choreographers: Marty Kudelka, Teresa Esipnosa, Wade Robson, Dante and more.

In L.A. they learned a lot more about the Urban rap and dance Culture wich inspired them to go back to Holland and release their first single ‘NaZtY’. For 6 weeks they succeeded to be nr.1 in the Urbanvibes charts on The Box Television.
