Creole Hip-Hop triumphs at the ultimate underground Hip-Hop battle. We first met Bennchoumy several years back when he was part of a group called The Shepherds. He has since branched out on his own, and has recently taken home the gold at the “Go Hard or Go Home†Hip-Hop battle held at the Remote Lounge in New York City. While everyone was doing the regular, English, Hip-Hop stuff, Bennchoumy let loose some Creole that most people didn’t understand… and still won.
A judge told him that even though they didn’t understand a word he was saying, they gave him the prize because his showmanship, performance, and skills were absolutely extraordinary.
Bennchoumy believes that there is a future for Creole Hip-Hop in the music industry. Even though people are always telling him to put more English into his rhymes to make it more convenient for the American mainstream, he does not believe that is necessary. He says that Reggaeton took off even though many people do not understand the Spanish lyrics, and that as long as music is good and can be felt, people will accept it.
What Bennchoumy won: Ring tone deal, several mix-tape deals, he will be in several magazine spreads, and cash prize (he would not reveal the exact amount.)
Congrats to my friend, the extremely talented Bennchoumy! Hopefully, we’ll have a ReelSolidTV interview with him soon to go with his HaitiXchange interview! :D

Benchoummy is definitely the man! Definitely happy to know him, and looking forward to seeing what he has up his sleeves for the future.
Reelsolid.tv, thanks for the reprint!
So in love with my Eastcoast Hip-Hop Star! He’s always 110% and never lacking in character! Spreading the Haitian Flag far and wide with Awesome amounts of PRIDE.
This negus character in no one to play with. He seems to never stop, as long as I can remember he’s always been in the spotlight spreading his haitian heritage wether on television or music. Bennchoumy , my haitian brother – you are a true seed of Dessalines. He’s proud of you…
Bennchoumy truely is a Negus-King. He knows exactly the direction he wants to go in his career. He keeps his strong will to stay focus on just that (music). He has a great passion for what he does and puts nothing before it. He has a great stage performance; even taking his shirt off and sweating out his lyrics hard for the ladies. I myself love to see his show.
Stay grounded Bennchoumy!! 1 love….
Talk to u!!!
