About Muzion

Hailing from Montréal, Muzion brought an original and distinct sound to the world of hip-hop. The group was formed in 1996 by MCs J.Kyll (Jenny Salgado), Imposs (Stanley Salgado) and Dramatik (Jocelyn Bruno) who were all born to Haitian immigrant parents. Their music expressed the joys and struggles of their city’s Haitian diaspora over a sound influenced by East Coast hip-hop, rap from France and soul. The trio’s approach to language was unparalleled by other artists. Known for bold and powerful lyrics, they composed rhymes from three languages, layering in French, English and Haitian Creole, which – thanks in part to their music – was entering Montréal’s urban slang. Muzion released two critically acclaimed albums: Mentalité moune morne… (Ils n’ont pas compris) (1999) and J’rêvolutionne (2002). Both received multiple honours, including Félix Awards for Hip-Hop Album of the Year. They are best known for their song “La vi ti nèg,” which won a 2004 Canadian Urban Music Award. Muzion’s influence stretched beyond music and into the wider culture. They helped empower marginalized communities to see themselves as integral to the fabric of Quebec and Canada.
