Newground's RAC contest is finally back! If you don't know what RAC means, it's Represent A Country! I'm in it this year, and guess what country I'm repping? STORY TIME!!!

I am from a Haitian American family and have spent my whole life listening to Compas, Haiti's national music. I never saw it as a good opportunity to make a full on Compas song, although a lot of my Breakcore has long strings in it that follow the genre's standard conventions. Now that this contest is going on, I can make that song. Making the song shouldn't be too hard; it's making it good that'll be the challenge. Still, I have these ideas swirling around in my head right now.

I'm thinking of starting off with a traditional sounding beat, then segway-ing into a pumping Carnaval beat. It'll be massive.
