このアーティストについて

Boef is the stage name of Sofiane Boussaadia, one of the most popular Dutch rappers and vloggers. He combines a fast, confident rapping style with beats that draw from Euro-disco, Arabian music, and American hip-hop. His two full-lengths, 2017′s Slaaptekort and 2020′s Allemaal een droom, both topped the charts in the Netherlands.
Born in Aubervilliers, France in 1993 to Algerian parents, Boussaadia moved between France, the Netherlands, and America as a boy. As a teenager, he spent two years in juvenile detention in the Netherlands, beginning his career as a rapper after his release at age 18. Boef signed with Dutch music label Zonamo Entertainment in 2015. His 2016 debut EP, Gewoon Boef, hit number four on the Dutch Top 100 albums chart. While his first five singles were all certified gold or platinum, “Habiba” was his major breakthrough, hitting number one and earning a quadruple platinum certification. In 2017 his first full-length album, Slaaptekort, reached number one as well, and was followed by the chart-topping 2018 EP 93. After two of his 2019 singles (“Allang al niet meer” and “Guap”) hit the top spot, he released his second album, Allemaal een droom, in 2020, again returning to the top of the album charts. “10 Keer,” a collaboration with Jonna Fraser, appeared in 2021. ~ Benjamin Schulz & Paul Simpson
