MONKEY MEDIA

1982 Was when Jaap van der Doelen shot his way out his mom dukes. A few years later he was already singing along to songs wholly inappropriate for his age. A father himself since 2019, he now shares his passion for those same tracks with his daughter Sam. Jaap is married to the lovely Femke and lives in The Netherlands, where he writes about beats, rhymes and life... You can find his writing in renowned publications such as Mass Appeal, Wax Poetics, Complex, DJBooth, Passion of the Weiss, SAM (Street And More) and Hiphop in je Smoel. He also reports on culture for Dutch newspapers Algemeen Dagblad, Eindhovens Dagblad and Brabants Dagblad. For three years, he wrote a weekly column in the latter's Saturday edition... Born in 1982, Jaap would soon be singing along to songs wholly inappropriate for his age and has never stopped doing so.
