Osdorp Posse was the first rap group which dared to rap using the Dutch language. ‘The Posse’ was formed in 1989 by Def-P (lead singer), King (backup vocal), IJsblok (backup vocal) and Seda (beat creator). Due to their fairly hard and extreme views on everyday life portrayed in their songs, they soon had a fairly large fan base in the Dutch underground scene.

Their debut album ’Osdorp Stijl’ released in 1992 contained songs like ‘Moordenaars’ (Assasins), ‘Katholieke trut’ (Catholic bitch) and ‘Commerciële AIDS’ (Commercial AIDS). This album set the tone, by using hardcore beats combined with a hardcore message shouted out by a seemingly furious Def-P. The main subjects handled in their songs where the poor quality and lack of creativity in commercial music; religious fanaticism; and the excessive misuse of beer.
