He has no spiritualist aspirations, he doesn’t and never will have all the answers but through his music he wants to help deconstruct some of the issues that have plagued the Haitian community. His motto is if you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. Many in the West Palm Beach area, including critics and peers agree Blacko has distinguished himself as one of the premier MC’s in the Creole Hip Hop movement. His biggest strengths lie in his storytelling and lyrical ability with the Creole language. Inspired by rappers like Tupac Shakur, Master Dji and Seca Konsa, Blacko wants to bring joy, pain, and hope to the Haitian masses.
His role in the movement is to teach people his truth about life, survival, and to be heard. For Blacko, life hasn’t been easy; he and his family moved to the states since he was 15 and due to parental restrictions and unfair treatments, he had to abandon them and embark on his own journey. Blacko raps mostly about love, humanity, Haitian in the US, world affairs, politics in the hip hop game and his journey through life. If it doesn’t pertain to him, he doesn’t rap about it. Blacko’s style comes from the real-life situations he has dealt with. No, he hasn’t been shot multiple times like 50 Cent and he doesn’t have a rap sheet as long as T.I, but he says "that’s not what makes you real." "A real Negus don’t have charges and hasn’t been locked up, that means you were smooth and didn’t get caught doing dirt." With his rap skills, Blacko plans to put Creole Hip Hop on the map. This won’t be an easy task seeing that Creole Hip Hop seems to have a lack of support from Haitians in the United States. But all of that serves as a motivation to bring it and bring it hard.
In his first official single, a romantically inspired track, Blacko introduces the Creole Hip Hop family to the one of the most important people in his life, his girlfriend. The song, ‘Pa Ka Kriye’, explains his love for his girlfriend and apologizes for not being around more often and hopes that she doesn’t mistake his grind for lack of interest.
But in his second single, ‘Rap Kreyol’, Blacko shows his lyrical skills as he calls upon his fellow Creole Hip Hop Mc’s to step up their game and make better music. This type of thematic diversity helped earn Blacko a legion of dedicated fans who appreciate his earnest approach to song writing. "I'm not trying to be something I'm not," Blacko says. "I tell it like it is, with "Rap Kreyol" I got a little crazy, with "Paka Kriyé" I wanted to let my woman know that she’s my rock and regardless of the amount of time I spend at the house, she should know that she’s my one and only."
Blacko is currently working on his first solo album and he is as focused and passionate as ever. The hope is that this album will cement Blacko’s place in Creole Hip Hop, he aims to take you on a journey of story-telling to introspection, to pondering the mysteries of the universe, to expressing emotions, to straight up pure hip hop. His vocabulary is impressive, his lyrics intelligent, his beats dope, his delivery impeccable, and his rhymes tight. Regardless of your feelings towards Creole Hip Hop, when you listen to Blacko’s music we hope you see his talent and his combination of substance and repartee. Look out world!
