I recently came across the music of Bigga Haitian. He's a reggae guy out of Haiti who's been around awhile and (according to Wikipedia) is said to have influenced Wyclef Jean and others.
He just released an album, Sak Pase. On one track he features Yvad of The Wailers. On another, he covers the White Stripes. Really good material.
Has anyone else heard of him? What are your guys' thoughts?
His site is Biggahaitian.com you can get his White Stripes cover on youtube, here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5pvkYlN3bQ

I first heard his music play on radio early last year, bhingi mon, tribute to patrick dorismond and gi me d weed. Wicked tunes they were, but he no longer plays them, he lost that album.
'I a bhingi mon mi nuh work fi taliban!'
