Surprisingly enough, when compared to his writing style, bold, vibrant, energetic, Johny Jacques is a reserved, somewhat shy man and a quiet individual. His multiple written works on the Creole Hip Hop movement always scream vivaciousness, passion and have a screamer like quality. This says a lot on how dear the movement is to Mr. Jacques, one of the top promotion people of the Creole Hip Hop Artists and the movement.

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.

Every now and then I get discouraged to continue promoting the Kreyol Hip Hop Movement.  It just is so hard sometimes when you look up and see the mountain you are trying to conquer and scratching your head to figure out the next move and what is attainable in order to keep yourself climbing.  At times I listen to this music and it just seems like this is a dream that is much too good.  For the past 25 years Kreyol Hip Hop has been in existence and here we are exactly 25 years after Master Dji recorded his first rap song in Haitian Kreyol marking the beginning of a movement, the music still has no real existence in the Haitian Diaspora. 

Ever since I became involved in Creole Hip Hop my life has changed dramatically.  These days I don’t even remember what a typical day used to be for me.  For the past two years, I have literally been chasing Creole Hip Hop just like an addict chasing his favorite source of high.  I’ve used my eyes, ears, mouth and wits to continually get myself more and more entangled with just about anyone that promises me more insight in this world of passionate Hip Hop music.
