Kraantje Pappie

Hailing from the Netherlands, rapper Kraantje Pappie—real name Alex van der Zouwen—first emerged on the scene in the closing years of the 2000s, though his initial full-length project did not surface until 2012. That project, Crane (Noah's Ark), included input from the Groningen-based production trio Noisia. Two years later, the sequel Crane II arrived via Top Notch V.O.F./Universal.
