Ali B op volle toeren (literally "Ali B at full speed"), abbreviated as ABOVT, is a Dutch television programme hosted by Moroccan-Dutch rapper Ali B for broadcaster AVROTROS (previously TROS). The name refers to Op volle toeren, an earlier very popular Dutch music program broadcast on TROS in the 1970s and 1980s. The programme initially aired between January 2011 and December 2016. In October 2020 ABOVT announced its return after a four-year-absence




Format



In each broadcast, Ali B couples with a fellow singer artist that changes in each episode. Usually each season is made up of 8 episodes. The guest artist chooses from his or her repertoire one of his own earlier hits, for the purpose of making a contemporary hip hop / urban "remake" / or cover version of the song by another invitee artist, usually a rapper / hip hop artist and vice versa.
Partaking artists are encouraged to use their own style giving the hit a real new twist. At the end of each episode, the artists would get together with Ali B to perform the new interpretations. Ali B often ends up participating in parts of the renditions, and so does falsetto-voiced producer Brownie Dutch. The artists would exchange opinions about the new revived versions of each other. The format has proved to be able to create crossover hits between traditional Dutch songs and urban hip hop music. Some of the interpretations have appeared on the Dutch Single Top 100 and Dutch Top 40 as hits in their own right.




Franchise


The format of ABOVT has been sold to eight countries, including Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Ukraine and Switzerland. Cover My Song, was the series broadcast on German VOX channel hosted by German hip hop artist Dennis Lisk also known by his stage name Denyo. In addition, a Tuvalu producer launched a truly international variant called Cover Me in which artists from different countries came together to cover each other's hits. In the autumn of 2012, the a Flemish version, named In De Mix (literally In the mix) was launched with Brahim Attaeb (or simply Brahim) as host.
The various series titles include:
