Wildcard (week 2):
‘t Hof Van Commerce – Ben Ier Weg
Belgium’s best hip hop crew doesn’t hide its love for Jo Lemaire’s 1981 hit Je Suis Venu Te Dire Que Je M’en Vais, but gives it a totally different twist than the Serge Gainsbourg-written original.
Ben Ier Weg (Flemish for ‘I’m outta here’) by ‘t Hof Van Commerce is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
