I hear you J. Marcelin. It's up to us (artists) to teach & preach consciousness to the young generation. We need to revolutionize our mind!

Artists, we are here on a mission! We are inspired by the higher force to deliver a message to the world & we must do it. Remember, you can take many roads (Literature, Hip Hop, teaching a class or whatever)-- just do what you are sent on earth to do. Just deliver the message!

Grimo, Benchoumy go on and take charge of your destiny. You guys are extremely talented!

i strongly agree that the best way for one to acquire knowledge is to spend critical times reading; however, i have to disagree with what you have to say abou wyclef. he worked very hard to get where he is at, he has the right to buy whatever his heart desires....plus, hip-hop is one ot the most powerful movement that God has blessed this planet with. it has changed lives of many; it has changed the world for the better; it has brought different races and people of various backgrouds together....creole hip-hop is one of the best form of music that can promote change in the haitian community at home and abroad right now...it's one of the form of music that is speaking the haitian condition right now....it's having a very positive influence on the youths in haiti as we speak...pale sa'w konnen...

If you haven't heard of Mecca aka Grimo you will shortly. I came across his mixtape and there is a big buzz in the industry about this guy.

Hey Y'all

You might be pleasantly suprised about Hip-Hop and Haitians making power moves. There are alot of Haitians in the Hip-Hop music world globally. From French, creole, American Hip-Hop, there are many Haitians doin it up. If you want to know about that, check out www.kafouinc.com that specializes in the Caribbean International Hip-Hop movement. They have a radio show in New York on 89.3 FM where you hear all of kinds of hip-hop music, even that guy from France Kerry James and some others. So, check it out

BIG UP

TO MECCA AKA GRIMO ON HIS MUSICAL ENDEAVORS. HE IS DEFINITELY REPPING AYITI HARD ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL. AND AS A YOUNG HAITIAN BROTHER I AM ALL FOR WHAT HE IS DOING. I LIVE IN NEW YORK AND THERE IS A NEED FOR A PLATFORM FOR ARTIST LIKE GRIMO TO PERFORM. I LOVE KONPA BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE. LATINOS ARE DOING IT HARD BEST WISHES ON THE CREOLE HIP HOP MOVEMENT. PEACE

If you get a chance and check out the website you will notice that Mecca aka Grimo has got something for both the youth and the older generation. I was fortunate enough to go to the Haitian Entertainment Awards held last summer in MIAMI. The audience consisted of the Tabou Combo, Skah Shah, Coupe Cloe, Tropicana, fans etc. He came on the stage with the hip hop creole, and y'know how the older generation views hip hop, hard to swallow!!!!Finally ran his show down into a poetry piece about Haiti, and when I say received a standing ovation!!! I mean the audience gave the man a standing ovation. That just goes to show the power of positive re-enforcement thru music like you said. So if it is the poetry that does it then this man has arrived, and the rest will be history....

Creole Hip Hop is definetly on the rise and a sure way to establish a connection between the youth and the older generation through bridging the gap. The language is common ground for us to communicate on the same level. Hopefully The older generation can appreciate the art. The youth has so much to say and its being expressed through music. Let them Talk to us! Let us listen to whats in their hearts but let us not tolerate slander, violence and the exploitation of our women! Good luck to Mecca aka Grimo, what I hear so far is good news. I hope he doesnt get caught in the current of the mainstream. Keep teaching our children they need guidence

Sakapfet tout mun. More Haitian artist should step up tp the plate and be truthful with themselves and their country and represent it right. If you look through out the Diaspora you will not find any other group of people ashamed to say where they come from BUT to be Haitian seems like a curse. I commend "Mecca aka Grimo's" efforts to revive our Haitian culture and bring awareness to the forefront through music BUT its going to have to be done on all levels, educational, spiritually, mentally ect... Thumbs UP for Grimo..........

Hello

My Haitian people I am glad to say that this hip hop kreyol style is a reality!!!!!! I always wondered why no one really stepped up to the plate and represented all our kreyol speaking peoples. To make it even crazier I personally checked out MECCA AKA GRIMOS website and I was left speechless. I must say being of Haitian descent if I was to be given a chance to step to the mic and say something to my countrymen both young and old I would have really like to come across the way this guy handles his business. Hats off to GRIMO, I heard a lot of hip hop but nothing like this!!!!!!! Let's continue to support our own!!! I am putting all my Haitian friends onto this cat, just cause I want to be the one that put my friends on!!!! On that note peace I am out..AYISIEN NAP MONTE!!!!!!!!!!

Date: Dec 24, 2004

I checked into this MECCA aka GRIMO artist yaull had mentioned and i wanna give extra credit to this guy. The way he flips the Creole flow and mixes it with the english flow is HOTTTT! Hes definetly representing Haiti on a large scale. Haitian Pride!!!!! Make our parents proud! DJ PROFESS...Out

EDRED, I agree with you, I just checked out the website

www.MECCAakaGRIMO.com

Its simply marvalous. This guy has alot of talent, not only Hip-Hop, but Poetry as well. I just put my order in for the Kreyol Konneksyon Hip-Hop CD as well as the Pharoh 2 thug poetry CD. As soon as I receive it, Ill be back on the forum. Till then peace and love.

I love all of you Haitian people that is reading and doing your research on the forums. Lets take this Haitian Hip-Hop on another level. I have to say we have alot to catch up on & its not going to be easy. Look at the hispanics doing there thing. I urge us Haitians to stick together and benifit from it. Lets keep our faith because in a couple of years Haiti will be back on it's feet.

THERE IS CURRENTLY A MOVEMENT IN THE CREOLE HIP HOP SCENE, AND ALL WE NEED IS MORE TALENT AVENUES TO BE CREATED FOR YOUNG HAITIANS TO HEAR THESE VOICES. WYCLEF HAS SINGLE HANDEDLY BOUGHT THAT TO THE MAINSTREAM, AND IT IS NOT FOR HIM TO PULL EVERYONE THAT CAN RAP IN ,BUT FOR EVERYONE "HAITIAN RAPPERS/POETS" TO USE THAT PLATFORM AND RUN WITH. I WANT TO DIRECT YOU TO SOME AVENUES THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED TO GIVE ARTIST AND ITS FOLLOWERS AN AVENUE TO LISTEN TO THIS TYPE OF MUSIC. BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT WITH ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT ALL THE PARENTS HAVE AND THE SCHOOLS TO DIRECT OUR CHILDREN SOMETIMES THEY ALL FALL SHORT OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. THANK YOU TO PEOPLE LIKE PAPA JUBE WHO RUNS SOBS AND IS OPEN TO CREATING AN AVE FOR ARTIST TO HAVE A FORUM TO EXPRESS THEIR ART(DEC 19TH @SOBS HIPHOP CREOLE WILL BE IN THE HOUSE).......THAT IS A PLUG FOR SOBS AS WELL AS PAPA JUBE LOOK HIM UP. ANOTHER IS DJ MADSOL DESAR HAITIAN DJ FROM BOSTON DOING WHAT HE CAN WHERE HE CAN TO CREATE AVES IN THE CLUBS OF NY TO PLAY CREOLE HIP HOP. THE EFFORTS OF THESE TYPES OF PEOPLE MUST GO NOTICED JUST FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOVEMENT. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST ON SPEAKING OF THE MOVEMENT I WANT ALL TO TAKE THE TIME AND PLUG INTO WWW.MECCAAKAGRIMO.COM.
THIS YOUNG MAN FLORIDIAN NATIVE "MECCA AKA GRIMO" IS ON THE BRINKS OF PUTTING TOGETHER A MOVEMENT CALLED THE KREYOL KONNEKSYON HAITIAN HIP HOP CREOLE MOVEMENT, AND WITH THE MOMENTUM THAT HE IS COMING WITH HAS MANAGED TO CATCH THE EYES AND EARS OF BIG INDUSTRY NEG OFFICIALS AND UNDERGROUND NEG OFFICIALS ALIKE, WITH HIS THOUGHT PROVOKING , AND TO THE POINT, RIGHT IN YOUR FACE RAPS/POETRY DELIVERIES. AT THIS POINT HE APPEARS TO ME TO BE THE CLOSEST THING TO COMMERCIALIZED CREOLE RAP/POETRY WITHOUT THE SACRIFICE OF LOOSING HIS UNDERGROUND CREDIBILITY. I COULD GO ON AND TALK ABOUT HIS FLOWS AND WITTY DIALECTS, BUT I WOULD ONLY APPEAR TO BE BIAS. SO I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL VIEWING THIS MESSAGE TO TAKE SOME TIME AT SOME POINT AND CHECK OUT HIS SITE.
**********************************WWW.MECCAAKAGRIMO.COM************************************************
HE HAS A PAGE FOR HIS SONGS AND POETRY AND YOU CAN HEAR FOR YOURSELVES WHAT THIS BUZZ IS, READ INTERVIEWS IN HAITIAN PERIODICALS,RADIO SHOWS, VIDEOS..........AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE FEEL FREE TO ARGUE ABOUT HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE*** KREYOL KONNEKSYON HIP HOP MOVEMENT*** THAT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE BY SURPRISE.THERE ARE AND IS A LOT OF OTHER TALENT THAT IS INCLUDED ON THIS PROJECT AND I DONT MEAN TO OOFEND ANYONE WHO KNOWS OF ANYONE ELSE. BUT EVERYONE WHO IS PART OF THIS PROJECT KNOWS WHO THEY ARE AND WILL GET THERE JUST DO RESPECT WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE...CHECK OUT THE MIX CD THAT IS OUT ON THE STREETS.CAN BE PURCHASED ON GRIMOS' WEBSITE.....I LOVED IT!!!!! CAN YOU TELL????!!! ENJOY AND PEACE TO ALL EDREAD
