From the Press Release:The Creole Hip Hop movement has made a lot of strides up to this point but for many in the industry Sky'z Da limit latest album, "AfrikAyiti", is the blueprint of the industry. The group is based in South Florida and they have an irascible disposition against anything that looks/seems wrong so on this album the boys pour out their soul as they tackle many topics such as life, love, the mediocrity in their beloved country, the state of the movement itself, amongst many other things.
With guest appearances by Gazzmann Couleur, Sista flo, Masters of Haiti, and RockFam, there is something on this album for everyone, even the Konpa lovers. Never slacking on the flows, the title track "AfrikAyiti" which sets up the platform for the album, Oz', Sly and Brasi breaks down the woes of the black society and the underlying truth of who we really are. They aimed to promote Africanism in the Haitian community; these guys are pan-Africanists and they strongly believe in keeping the African cultural retention alive. On this track they challenged the Haitian community to view themselves as Africans/African descendants and not just Haitians. The beat has a lot of African elements as they used some samples of African chants from Congo.
The group displays mind-boggling story telling capability that sucks you in displayed with the song "Pou yo" featuring Gazzmann Couleur, where they chew on the subject of the life of those who are suffering, the helpless, the neediest, the voiceless and hopeless masses, and the government neglects. The track is hot like a heating system but Gazzmann Couleur took it to another level with his delivery and outcry for the poor children as he didn't shy away from pouring himself unto the track and into the ears of the listeners.
On the track "Met men", Sky'z Da Limit provides alternatives to the many problems plaguing the country and its community here in America. The song provides a deep analysis of the contemporary condition of Haiti as they delivered their verses in perfectly syncopated rhyme while bringing their point to the masses, " pale nan bouch pap regle anyen". Rapping over a very crunck beat, they boys from the sunshine state challenge every one to do something to help Haiti and the Haitian community, "ayisyen fre'm se'm an nou pran konsyans / Apre 200 zan de soufrans ayiti an nou ba'l yon chans/ An sispann akize yon sel moun nou responsab tou / Anpil nan nou chak jou changeman, franchman/ Se sel verb nap konjige / Men le pou'n met men nou pyes pap kontribye" The movement has scored heavy with the rise of Mecca aka Grimo, Seca Konsa, and BenChoumy, but they alone cannot carry the torch.
It's a fact with this album Sly, Oz', and Brasi are on a mission to bring the movement to new heights as they just gave the Creole Hip Hop movement a big boost, the album is on www.sakapfetstore.com go cop it and support the movement. Let the Creole Hip Hop movement live, it's real.
