Trente-Cinq — Three Letters from Namur

An MC warms up a crowd, somewhere in Namur, some year in the nineties: three letters, a group you don’t need introducing, NBS, make some noise. That tape still exists, and so does the crew. Namur Break Sensation have been at it for thirty-five years, which in b-boy terms is closer to a geological era than a career. Trente-Cinq, published by Wal’Style, is what they pulled out of the boxes to mark it — 68 pages in black and white, A5, written by Guillaume Roose and designed by Julien Roose. Flyers, photographs, jams, faces. Not a monument, more a crew talking among themselves and letting you listen in.

Belgian hip-hop rarely gets told from the inside, and almost never from Wallonia. This does both, without the grand claims that usually come with an anniversary book.
