Spotlight: Hip Hop Creole in step with Urban walk for Haiti

Creole Hip Hop featured in Boston’s, “URBAN Walk for Haiti.” Another chapter opened in the world of Creole Hip Hop, as Sony Blaze, Kobe and One Respe, Creole Rap artist, blesses the crowd with lyrics in their native tongue of Kreyol. There were many who spoke for the rights of Haiti at this event. There was Haitian cultural dance and even Haitian literature to capture the mind of past and present amongst those of Haitian descent. “This day is a great day for the Haitian Community,” stated Karen Fritchie, teacher and lead coordinator of Urban Walk For Haiti. “Today, we have Zoe Entertainment Inc. that is going to provide Creole Hip Hop.” Many participants cheered but no one knew what this Creole Hip Hop attraction stood for. In fact, there were skeptical people who mumbled in the crowd, not sure what hip hop had to do with Haiti. Music began to sound out loud and then Kreyol began to travel in every direction as if the language had no barriers almost parallel to the likeness of light as it illuminates a dark room. By the time this event of Creole Hip Hop was complete, the world witnessed right before them the transformation and evolution of Haiti, expressed in three young men (Sony Blaze, Kobe and One Respe). “Next Year we will invite the entire Creole Hip Hop community to walk with Haiti because it starts here,” said One Respe, artist in the Creole Hip Hop movement. I totally agree and would like to thank St. Paul’s Parrish, Lincoln Sudbury Regional High school, Partners In Health, Harvard University and all other participants in the Urban Walk For Haiti in allowing Creole Hip Hop to be a part of Haiti’s growth.
