About I Love Hiphop festival

Since 2009 the name I Love Hiphop festival is a household name in Den Haag bringing the hiphop culture to the people in all of it's forms. Acts like Black Milk, Saigon and many more Dutch and international acts. I Love Hiphop started as a joint event from Hague Hiphop (music), Jammin'On Beat (breaking championship) and Bomb The Planet (graffiti event).
After some years it grew from a one day event to multiple days with a variety of activities, all with the same foundation: the hiphop culture.

This year we are glad to be back with a lot of good vibes, hard battles and dope acts!

ARTISTS

This is a selection of the artists who are going to rock I love Hiphop in 2022. After missing our physical editions last 2 years, all artists are hyped to make you enjoy the festival!

CORMEGA (USA) - JULY 30th

Cormega first appeared on an underground album in 1991 and was supposed to release an album under the helm of Marley Marl but was subsequently found guilty for a crime he didn’t commit. Upon his release on appeal he appeared on the Marley Marl produced “On The Real” alongside Nas and Kamikaze. He became a fixture on many mixtapes but solidified himself with his first major appearance on Nas multi platinum album “It Was Written”. Currently he just finished his highly anticipated sequel album “The Realness 2”, which is about to be released

HET VERZET - JULY 30th

Het VerZet has become Dutch Boombap Royal family ever since they made sound in de late 2000's. After dropping their album release in 2012 of Greatest (S)Hits and rocking stages throughout Europe and dropping 'Russian Roulette' the member continued their paths individually waving the Het VerZet flag as solo artists. Even though they didn't drop anything as a unit, Het VerZet never forgot where they came from and the family stayed intact behind the screens, even jumping on each others solo productions or even touring together

JON1ST (UK) - JULY 30th

Since his breakout win in the 2013 DMC World Online Championships, Jon1st has quickly built a reputation as a ‘DJ’s DJ’, not only proving himself as one of the world’s most diverse turntablists but also as an in demand club DJ, selector and producer, constantly breaking new music and effortlessly blending together influences across the alternative bass music spectrum, in particular passionately exploring the conversation between genres in the 160-170bpm landscape.

SKAFFA - JULY 30th

Skaffa (Ilia) grew up in Russia in the 80's, back then still the Soviet Union. His grandmother introduced him to poetry and in artschool he found his passion - breaking! His first project, Dinosaurus, has just been released and already has more than a million streams. The EP symbolises his return to the rapscene; someone who buried and resurrected himself. The EP is a reflection of his past, so in future projects he can write about the brighter future

DJ RHYTHMMATIC - JULY 29th

Music , Rhythm and Style: in these three words whe can describe multi-musically talented (dancer-DJ-drummer) DJ Rhythmmatic. From the age of nine in 1979, former 010-Bboyz member Carlos Rocha filled his days with “Browning” (James Brown dance), later with electric boogie and breaking. Naturally dancing became his profession. He loves to share his record collection with a crowd that appreciaties good non commercial music on vinyl, and to surprise them with artists & music they never heard before!!!
