Spookrijders was a Dutch hip-hop group that emerged from Amsterdam and gained prominence in the local rap scene during the late 1990s. The group was known for their distinctively Dutch sound and for addressing themes that resonated with the urban youth of the Netherlands. Comprising three members — Stefan 'Stef' Robbers, Clyde 'G-Boah' Riedewald, and Sandro 'Sandro' Oliveira — Spookrijders established a reputation for blending gritty lyrics with infectious beats, delivering a raw representation of their experiences and perspectives.

The group enjoyed a modicum of success with tracks like "Klokkenluiders Van Amsterdam," where their identity as 'whistleblowers' or truth-tellers of the Amsterdam streets was solidified. Their music was characterized by a mix of humor, social commentary, and self-aggrandizing storytelling, evident in songs like "Ik Ben De Man" and the provocatively titled "Hersens & Piemelmans." Over time, Spookrijders developed a loyal following, praised for refusing to shy away from controversial topics and for championing a sense of community and resilience in their lyrics. Despite their regional fame and contribution to Dutch urban music, Spookrijders eventually disbanded, leaving behind a legacy encapsulated in tracks like "No Spang!" and "Zwaai Je Handen," which captured the essence of their innovative and audacious spirit.
