This article does not have even one independent source. The article has stood for coming up on two years. It seems that the article should have a number of independent sources in order to establish notability. Dawnseeker2000 01:17, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - They are name-dropped several times in a recent article about Wyclef Jean's run for PM, noting that he is making an effort to tap in to their national popularity. May not be enough to save the article, but if someone wants it to userfy to work on, that'd be ideal. Tarc (talk) 17:14, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I am Haitian and have been a promoter of Haitian hip-hop. I can confirm that the author of that page has been pretty accurate in what appears on the page. Though online sources are hard to find (haitian websites can be here today and gone tomorrow). The group has never really had an official website despite their popularity in Haiti. But I will try and modify the page and add sources as much as I can where possible. NegLakay (talk) 01:38, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
