Kangol Kid (UTFO) simply the FIRST Haitian in hip hop!
If you grew up in the the United States in the 1980s you probably heard the hit rap song "Roxanne, Roxanne", what you probably didn't know is that the rapper with the kangol hat is Shaun Shiller Fequiere, Kangol Kid, born in Brooklyn to Haitian parents.
Kangol says he intentionally hid his Haitian heritage while trying to achieve success as a break dancer and rapper with the mid-'80s group, Jacqueline Charles writes in an article on Miami.com
He explains in details in a this video interview... Watch...
