Kans

A few years back, rapper YOUNGBAEKANSIE was turning heads at nearly every festival, gaining fame for his role in ‘Doe Je Dans’ by Bizzey and delivering one of 101Barz’s catchiest hooks with ‘SAUCEMAN’. Fast forward to today, Randall Felter, now going by Kans, has taken a whole new path, delving into sensitive R&B with influences from hip-hop, trap, and his Caribbean heritage. Through his latest project, he reaffirms the Dutch hip-hop scene’s wealth with talent. On his sophomore album, ‘hennessy & beckies’ (2022), he’s joined by established names like Jonna Fraser, Murda, Yade Lauren, and Ray Fuego. Yet, the whole album has an incredible sensitiveness and freshness to its sound. Among his favorite artists and key musical influences are Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Future, André 3000, Drake, The Weeknd, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Hef.
