About Mecca Haitian R & B Artist
As we embark on the year
2004, we celebrate 200 years of independence for the
mountainous island called Haiti. Emerging from the pride of the
Bicentennial is
a movement called Hex Battalion (Haitian Exodus). Mecca a.k.a GRIMO is
the
front man of this movement.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., This multi-talented brother is the
offspring of
Haitian parents. His family moved to Queens, N.Y. when he was 6 years
old. This
is when and where Mecca adopted a love for the art of writing and
reciting. This
art form would become a way of life for Mecca. In 1985 his parents
relocated
again, this time to the tropical regions of Miami, Florida.
Since then Mecca has been on the entertainment scene serving as
a
catalyst for up and coming artists. In 1995 he was part of a successful
hip hop
album (Yes-N-Deed), (Society / Luke Rec.) which allowed him to tour for
8
months. He became a road manager for several local artists and earned a
degree
in Acoustical Engineering. Having access to the studio, Mecca started
putting
together what is now Hex Battalion Music group Inc. / Vagabond Rec. /
Kreyol
Konnec-tion.
The mission is to provide quality entertainment in a different
perspective and to bring it to the Haitian community and abroad. To add
to the
formula Mecca is bilingual. He can write and recite lyrics/poetry in
English and
Kreyol. His recent contributions got the streets buzzing with
translations of
"In Da Club", "Damn", "Neva Scared", "Snake" and more. Haitian radio is
giving
him heavy rotation as well as American stations. Mecca just released his
first
video called "AYISIEN", which is an ode to Haitian pride. The video
displays
Haitian culture in a light that the media doesn't care to show.
Look for the video's debut in February 2004 on HTN, BAZ LA,
ISLAND TV,
VIDEO MIX, THA HITZ FACTORY, LENZ MAGIC, CARIB COCKTAIL, and other video
shows
in your area. The video can also be seen online at www.sakpasemag.com.
The
follow up for the Kreyol rapper is the next single "Crème De La Crème"
and a
video for it. Also look for the mix tape out in the streets "L'union
Fait La
Force" featuring other artists under the Kreyol Konnec-tion umbrella.
The yet
untitled DVD will be in stores the summer of 2004. Special Thanks to our
proud
