De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig is a Dutch rap formation. Their name means “The Youth of Today” or “These Youngsters Nowadays”.

The group is comprised of Vieze Fur (“Dirty Fur”) a.k.a. Vieze Freddie (“Dirty Freddie”, real name Freddie Tratlehner), P. Fabergé a.k.a. P. Dronq or Peppie (real name Pepijn Lanen) and Willie Wartaal a.k.a. WiWa (Wartaal means “gibberish”, real name Ollicio Locadia).



They scored a huge hit with their first single “Watskeburt?!”, which then became Dutch slang for “What’s up?!”. In 2005 they released their debut album named “Parels voor de Zwijnen” (a Dutch saying; “Pearls for the Swines” is the English equivalent), featuring raps containing rather esoteric lyrics full of (partially made up) street language. With comical lyrics and an attitude telling they do not take themselves too seriously, they gained a unique position in the Dutch rap scene. Their main themes are alcohol, sex and drugs. All tracks on the group’s debut album Parels voor de Zwijnen were produced by Bas Bron.

Subsequent single releases include Voorjekijkendoorlopen (“Lookinfrontofyoukeeponwalking”) and the Christmas-themed Ho Ho Ho (with Katja Schuurman)

In July 2006, the group was featured on the song Poes in de Playboy of the Dutch reggae/ska band Luie Hond. In May 2007, they released the single Shenkie. Both singles where never released on the albums.
