On Saturday, March 21, Homebase has an evening of international Hip Hop in store for you at FIXY. The program will be headlined by the technically gifted New Zealand-based rapper Mazbou Q, and will feature performances and DJ sets from Deejay Irie and more.
Stemming from his background in classical music, heavy metal and West African Highlife, Mazbou Q's music pushes the boundaries of Hip Hop and captivates those with a deep appreciation for musicality. Taking inspiration from the likes of Fela Kuti, The Roots and Black Star, his lyrics are socially conscious and explore his unique cultural identity. Mazbou Q is also well-known for his detailed breakdowns of rap flows on social media.
This event closes off the 2026 European Hip Hop Studies Conference:
“Things Done Changed: Hip Hop Futures for a World on Fire”, which takes place in Groningen from March 18-21, 2026.
