Master Dji, whose full name is George Lys Herard, founded Haitian hip-hop in the early 1980s. He witnessed how American hip-hop gave birth to French hip-hop while living in France, then returned to Haiti to start the Rap Kreyol movement.
Haitian hip-hop, known as Rap Kreyol, is performed in Haitian Creole rather than French. The choice to rap in Creole was a political statement, since French was associated with the Haitian elite while Creole was the language of the working class.
