Respect! Rappen in Fort Europa
Respect! Rappen in Fort Europa is a collaboration with award winning journalist and colleague Toine Heijmans. The book, published in 1998 by Balie/de Volkskrant, deals with the importance of rap and hip hop for the European immigrant communities.
The two writers went to London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Amsterdam and Rotterdam to explore the various hip hop scenes. The separate stories, which were published in de Volkskrant, were nominated for the Journalist of the Year Award 1998.
