The Youth Of Today, Edison Pop Oeuvre Prize

The Youth of Today has the Edison Pop Oeuvre Prize 2025 Thursday received During a broadcast of the Beau talk show on RTL4. Jury chairman Daniël Dekker calls the impact of the rap formation on Dutch music ‘unabated’. “For generations, they still know how to leave a stamp with swirling and disruptive language and they are still doing that. The choice was unanimous and quickly made. “

The jury also writes that the youth of today in the twenty years that the group has been in existence “has completely renewed the Dutch language.” “They are perhaps more in their human form more the fathers of today, but musically, their immense contribution to Dutch music – innovative, humorous and full of timeless creativity – will always have the youthful character with which they have broken through.” Their oeuvre will form the basis for “a lot of music that will come in the future”.

Faberyayo, Willie Wartaal, Vjèze Fur and Bas Bron had their debut ‘Watskeburt?!’ A number 1 hit immediately in 2005. In 2006 they won an Edison for the first time, in the ‘newcomer’ category.
