Yesterday marked a night we had all been waiting/talking about for a while. Another edition of Ill City in Petrol Antwerp with yet again a great line-up: Flinke Namen, ZwartLicht & especially Dio. Bad news hit us hard though about an hour before our departure to the CITY (‘tStad) as Dio seemed to be stuck in Paris and had to cancel. We heard bad weather hit France hard in the news, but it hit us even harder. I kid you not when I say that we had been wanting to witness him live for over a year now after a lot of my friends discovered his albums/mixtapes on our snowtrip last year.
Anyways, ice cold outside, but no snow would hold us back from headin’ on out to Antwerp. We packed my car and headed on out to find Lefto spinnin’ the decks. Warm-up round for him, which could not be taken any more literally as at that moment my feet had semi-frozen 
Flinke Namen
Opening on stage however was mr Broodje Bakpao Gers himself. The suprise warming up paved the road for Flinke Namen (who we’ve been aching to see for while). Highlights being Wolken and Roll je raam. A great gig by Flexican and his crew, but it was ZwartLicht who lit the Petrol up.
ZwartLicht
Driven by Hayzee‘s beats (winner of Redbull’s Beat Battle which was held in A’dam passed summer), this was the spark we needed. Bliksemschicht! Hands went up, people were bouncing around as two and a half hours of dutch hip hop reached their climax. I can now say I’ll be in de Nijdrop coming februari as I’ve got to witness ZwartLicht de nouveau. Out.
