The early standout on their new album Exit 2B feels like a classic Haitian love song.
While Pitchfork frames this as just another album cut, "Little Haiti" represents something far more urgent: the sonic preservation of Caribbean identity in an era where Miami's gentrification machine systematically erases Black and brown communities. The track's "classic Haitian love song" feel isn't nostalgia. It's resistance, proving that diaspora artists can honor their roots while creating something entirely new for global audiences who rarely hear Haiti beyond headlines of crisis.
