Julliard Frans (born March 18, 1987), known professionally as Hef, is a Dutch rapper.

Career

Julliard Frans was born in Rotterdam and is of Curaçaoan descent. He is the brother of fellow rappers Adje and Crooks. He grew up in the neighborhood Hoogvliet in Rotterdam, which he called tragic. During his childhood, his parents sold drugs while he was playing with his Ninja Turtles dolls next to them. He eventually began selling drugs and began stealing goods, such as scooters and bicycles. He has left this life style behind and began focusing on music. In 2008, he gained attention for his rap songs about street life in Hoogvliet Rotterdam, when he released the single "Puur". The same year he released the album Boyz in de hood vol. 1 with his brothers Adje and Crooks, for which they won a State Award.

In 2009, he released the mixtape Hefvermogen, which was re-released by the label Noah's Ark as his debut album in 2010. Several producers worked on this and guest appearances by several other rappers were heard. The album contained the tracks "Overal", "Gone" featuring Major and "Op een missie".
