Troublemaker: Master Dji and "Tet Chaje"



Some Haitian rap is on tap today with our random song, called Tet Chaje. The song is performed by the late Master Dji, who died in 1994 at the age of 32 from complications of AIDS. His debut album, Master Dji, is known as one of the greatest Creole hip hop albums of all time, and his style of hip hop drew from Haitian music such as rara, rasin, kompa and reggae. A musical pioneer in Haiti, he helped build the popularity of rap and hip hop in that country. Tet Chaje can be found on the 2009 various artists compilation Haiti Rap & Ragga.
