November 19th, 2010….It’s a new era, though RAP Kreyol has been in the midst of music for quite sometime now, its rise is surely to reach the mainstream charts in a very short time.
RKM Recordz did it again, from a great line up to great performances the atmosphere could not have been better. The night started by introducing upcoming artists such as Stichiz, young vibrant woman with an iron will and deep love for her roots poured her heart out on the stage in remembrance of those still in the continuing fight for survival in our beloved country Haiti. Followed by Gato who caught the crowd with his catchy word “anmweeeyy”, also called the Haitian gut cry. Next Mr Black Mp Well made us dance with “Ralel epi lagel nan wel li”, the crowd couldn’t get enough. These 3 enthusiastic passionate upcoming artists left their heart on the stage and wanted the world to know that complete success was inevitable…kudos to them and RKM Recordz for introducing the fresh and the new of the now generation!
The night continued with Mr Popular… Mikaben, who deserves an article for himself just for his diverse and unique acheivements, followed were Miami’s favorite band XTASSY..now I have to say I have seen these boys evolve… from their first performance that I have attended back in February of this year and this one… there is a big difference, I can tell they have matured and demonstrated ownership of the stage that night…my babies are all grown up now..snif..snif!!! LOL.
And last but not least 5 ETWAL closed the show with a magnificent performance!
The night oozed of nothing but talented individuals, if you weren’t there, you probably missed it…but your girl will always be there to let you know what was hot in the streets of the one and only MIA.
Till next time!! smooches!

About the author
Nice review, quite enjoyable read, seems like it was a successful event! “We”? are you part of the “rap kreyol movement”?
Thank you Lynnaima …By we I really mean us Haitians…was really looking for a catchy title..guess it worked!!! ..by the way you are an amazing writer as well I follow your poems quite interesting!!
What are Haitians taking by force exactly? Kudos just the same, anything positive is to be reinforced!
I think a lot thus anything sort of catches my attention, not to take away from the title per se and I do subscribe to your blog!
Thank you my dear, I have been writing for more than 20 years and still learning. I hope you do leave your fingerprints when next you do visit!
I think you would have to have been there to see what I meant by “by force” usually haitians don’t respond well to the unknown, the crowd was a little reluctant to accepting these artirts at first, it’s not the same as bringing in Mikaben whom they already know. These upcoming artists had to prove a point on stage, their passion were much stronger than Mikaben…It felt like they were saying “you are going to accept me whether you like it or not”. the pictures don’t say much but I reallly wish you were there.
wow 20 years you must be a published author already…that’s amazing..lol I’m suscribed to you also..and yes you are right I should leave a comment or two..Promise I will do that!!!
I really enjoy reading this article. Even though I was there, it’s nice to have someone summarize everything for me. I also like the pics you selected. It’s nice to see them in the company of your words… Keep writing, and I’ll keep shooting….
If you weren’t there to shoot those beautiful pictures I wouldn’t have anything to write about so thank you so much Cancy…your pictures are really amazing!!
“wow 20 years you must be a published author already…that’s amazing..lol”
Hmmmmmmm I gave up on that idea. If I publish I want to be on the NYT best seller list not any little old list, I do not do just to do. There are a lot of published authors with not much to show for it just the knowledge that they have (traditional). In this day and age anyone can do that, just like on a blog, or online magazine, or youtube. Most authors look to publish on their own and under $1000, it can be done. I write as an enjoyment, to express what touches me, though my work will be copyrighted soon since most do not respect our work and take it as their own at times.
I appreciate anyone whose heart is in their art. Kudos to the ones who showed their passion at your show, lol. I hope they make it. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. BTW, keep it up and am looking forward to reading more reviews!
There is nothing wrong in pursuing what you really want!!!! Thank you so much looking forward to reading more of you also!
