« Let me give you three letters — a group from Namur that needs no introduction… NBS, does that ring a bell?! Namur Break Sensation! We're gonna see them freestyle here tonight, so I want you to make as much noise as possible for them. It's gonna be fire! » — archive excerpt, an MC working the crowd.
In 1991, five friends from Namur — Guillaume Roose, Marc Sevrin, Bashkim Topojani, Julien Roose and Jérémie Roose — started a crew at a moment when Belgium, deep in the New Jack Swing wave, had all but stopped dancing breaking. Against the reigning power moves, NBS built its name on toprock and footwork, and is now credited with opening the "modern" era of bboying in the country. First Belgian crew at the international Battle of the Year in 1996, first to cross over into theatre and contemporary dance, and behind the Wal'Style asbl since 2013 — thirty-five years of Belgian hip-hop told from the inside, by the people who lived it.
Sixty-eight pages of archives, flyers, photographs and first-hand accounts, written by Guillaume Roose and designed by Julien Roose. A pocket-sized companion to Namur Break Sensation - Une histoire du hip-hop belge. Comes in a capsule of 35 copies, each signed and tagged by Rage156.
