Barikad Crew

Barikad Crew is a hip-hop group straight out of Bas Peu d'Chose (BPC), a neighborhood in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The group was founded in 2002 when the members who were all in different groups living in the same neighborhood decided to join forces and overcome the barikad (obstacles) placed in front of them during their careers as MC's. Their debut album "Goumen pou sa w kwè" (Fight for what you believe) was released in November 2007 to record sales. At the time of the album release, the group members were: Bricks, Brital, Dade (R.I.P.), Deja-Voo (R.I.P.), Fantom, Izolan, Kondagana, Marco, Master Sun, Papa K-tafalk (R.I.P.), Young Cliff (R.I.P.). In June 15 2008, tragedy struck the group when K-tafalk, Deja-Voo and Dade lost their lives in a horrific car accident that shocked the entire nation. After a few months break from music, the group has resumed activity in October 2008, during a concert of support and remembrance. In November 2008, they released their sophomore album titled "Jiskobou" (Till the end) which eclipsed their previous sale records of 2007. On January 12 2010, the group lost another member, Young Cliff, in the earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince. Official website: Barikad Crew Myspace page: Barikad Crew Read more on Last.fm.
