Creole Rap: Original Rap Staff and Top Tchooko with Posse X and "Fan' Nan Kann, Nan"



Today's random tune is by Original Rap Staff & Top Tchooko and features Posse X. Original Rap Staff, from Haiti, are exponents of Rap Kreyòl, or hip hop and rap done in the Haitian creole language. Top Tchooko is known as the king of Haitian hip hop, and is a former member of Original Rap Staff. I couldn't find much on Posse X, but they are also from Haiti. Other, more well known artists in the in Rap Kreyòl genre include Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel from the Fugees so you have probably heard snippets of this type of rap if you listened to them. You can find this song, Fan' Nan Kann, Nan on Original Rap Staff's All Stars "Supastarz" CD, released in 1999.
