Rotterdam Airlines Music Group

Geschiedenis

We are a young, independent hiphop record label, management agency and music publisher. In 2009 the label was founded by a group of friends with a shared passion for hiphop music. Our first official release ‘Kifesh’ by rap artist Sevn Alias didn’t go unnoticed. Rotterdam Airlines Music Group (RAMG) was taking off and soon more artists came walking through our doors. Our organization developed and we had to learn the “tricks of the trade” fast. Over time we created a wide network of artists, music producers, radio producers, (online) journalists, booking agents and online streaming companies. Meanwhile our first official release ‘Kifesh’ received a gold record award and Jairzinho’s song ‘Laat niet los’ was played in the Dutch clubs which also resulted in a gold record award. Major record labels in the Dutch hiphopscene are now showing interest in the youngest and fastest growing hiphop label while Rotterdam Airlines continues to do what we do best! Representing eight talented artists like one big family.

Our artists are: Sevn Alias, Jairzinho, Lil Saint, Chip Charlez, BKO, Johnny Sellah, FMG, YFG and Kevin.

Hiphop is everywhere. For many years we in The Netherlands have been listening to hiphop artists from the USA and the UK. But the last few years we’ve seen an increase in Dutch hiphop artists. Now Dutch hiphop music is everywhere. We hear it on the streets, in the charts, in the clubs and on the playgrounds. This week even the official Dutch ‘Album Top 100’ is dominated by Dutch hiphop artists including our own Sevn Alias who came in second place leaving albums from artists like Adele, The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Beyoncé and Justin Bieber behind them. And mainstream festivals like Pinkpop and Lowlands with over 160.000 visitors together are giving Dutch hiphop artists a stage. As a result we have seen a growth in our audience. We are no longer just making music for a young urban audience, we reach a wide range of citizens. And lately it is not just citizens of The Netherlands. For his latest mixtape Sevn Alias has collaborated with UK rapper JB Scofield which, despite the mostly Dutch lyrics, resulted in a spot in the popular Spotify Playlist ‘Grime Shutdown’ from the UK. And this summer our artists Sevn Alias en Jairzinho will perform in Surinam. It shows us hiphop is universal regardless of age, language, ethnicity and background.
