DOPE D.O.D. + R.A. THE RUGGED MAN + BENNY HOLIDAY FT. SNOWGOONS

DOPE D.O.D – Rap / NL
Made up of rappers Skits Vicious, Jay Reaper and Dopey Rotten (former member), the internationally renowned Dutch hip-hop group Dope D.O.D. is coming to Geneva for an anthology European tour. Renowned for their percussive phrasing, set to heavy, aggressive beats, the group blends classic hip-hop with electronic music. This unique style has led them to collaborate with renowned artists such as Noisia, The Prodigy, Mefjus, The Teddy Killerz, Black Sun Empire and Apashe.
Incategorizable, Dope D.O.D. is often described as creating his own category, blending boom bap drums, distorted bass lines and hard-hitting punchlines. Stubbornly refusing to conform, the group has no intention of slowing down and continues to make its mark on the ever-expanding landscape of rap music.
Their latest album, The Whole Planet Shifted, marked their 10th anniversary on the music scene. Produced by Chubeats and featuring an impressive list of vocal collaborations (Onyx, Smif-N-Wessun, DJ Paul & Thirstin Howl III...) The Whole Planet Shifted was acclaimed by fans and critics alike.

R.A. THE RUGGED MAN – Rap / USA
A fascinating figure in hip-hop, R.A. The Rugged Man's career spans several decades. Hard to describe, almost impossible to categorize, he has been in turn a promising star, an industry pariah, the hero of an underground cult, a true self-made man's success story. Able to pulverize his opponents with his ferocious rhymes, he produces personal tracks in which his fans recognize themselves, with a jaw-dropping flow. His sharp pen shocks the most sensitive and challenges corrupt politicians, proving once again that his technicality is unrivalled.
Over the course of his career, he has worked with a spectacular number of music industry heavyweights, including The Notorious B.I.G., Wu-Tang, Tech N9ne, Rakim, Mobb Deep, Talib Kweli, Kool G Rap, Public Enemy and Brother Al, to name but a few.
As his latest album proves, R.A. The Rugged Man has adapted to changes in the rap industry and become even more hard-hitting. All My Heroes Are Dead is the fruit of an exceptional collaboration with hip-hop heavyweights such as Chuck D, Slug of Atmosphere, Ghostface Killah, Immortal Technique, Vinnie Paz, Ice-T, M.O.P., Kool G Rap, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Onyx, Brand Nubian, Chris Rivers, Inspectah Deck, A-F-R-O and Masta Killa. A long-awaited album, which demonstrates the full extent of R.A. The Rugged Man's immense talent.
