Wendyyy — “Yo Mele

Wendyyy-Yo Mele

Originally from Haiti, Wendyyy left at age 13 to move to Guadeloupe. Still but 24, the man otherwise known as Duvert Wendy is an up-and-comer on the Rap Kreyol scene. This track, “Yo Mele”, makes use of a heavy dubstep riddim, bringing the darkness of deep bass to the sunny Caribbean. It works. Another Rap Kreyol one-to-watch is NDX, whose electro-laced “Yolo” is worth a spin.
