Typhoon
Organic, live-band hip-hop that feels like a deep exhale. Soulful Dutch lyricism meets jazz horns and acoustic warmth for moments of genuine reflection.

Typhoon creates music that feels fundamentally human. While his roots are firmly in the Dutch hip-hop scene, his sound has evolved into a lush, organic tapestry where rap flows naturally over jazz horns, acoustic guitars, and Surinamese rhythms. It is music that breathes, eschewing the cold precision of digital beats for the warmth of a live band and the intimacy of a storyteller who isn't afraid to be vulnerable.
What sets him apart is the spiritual and philosophical weight of his lyrics. He navigates themes of burnout, identity, and love with a poetic grace that feels more like a conversation than a performance. There is a persistent sense of light and air in his production, even when he is tackling heavy subjects, creating a sound that is as intellectually engaging as it is physically groovy.
Start with 'Lobi da basi' to hear his most celebrated fusion of styles. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves hip-hop but craves the musicality of a live ensemble and the depth of conscious, soul-searching lyricism.
Glenn de Randamie (born 6 August 1984), better known by his stage name Typhoon, is a Dutch rapper. He is signed to Dutch hip-hop record label Top Notch.
