Four prominent Haitian artists spent the last weekend in Miami, recording “Mamman Pa Crie (Requiem For Haiti)” The song, with a corresponding video, included several established and major label artists, and was produced by Benzino. Included was onetime MCA Records artist Melky Jean a/k/a Melky Sedeck, who appeared alongside her brother Wyclef on his 2000 hit “It Doesn’t Matter,” as well as Zoe Pound emcee Redd Eyezz, Black Da-Da and Billy Blue.

The video, shot by R. Malcolm Jones, is set in Miami’s Little Haiti section. Wyclef Jean makes an appearance in the final edit, during his sister’s verse. The active spokesman for Haiti Relief and the Ambassador Of Goodwill to the island nation said, ““This is big song. It’s an international, worldly song and I was happy to be a part of the video” in a statement.

The whole production was sponsored by Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Requiem Clothing and veteran emcee/producer Benzino.
