Djakout Mizik is a popular Haitian Compas band. On New year's eve on MTV in 2007, they performed with Wyclef Jean. This was their first appearance on an American network television. In February 2008, they were crowned the best carnival band in Haiti for their energetic performance of Kalòt Marasa (two slaps). Based in Carrefour, Haiti, Djakout Mizik is easily recognizable by their slow jazzy style and have produced hits such as "Septieme Ciel", "Naje Pou Souti", and "Biznis Pam".

In May 2006, they were shot at while getting out of a van. Thankfully, none of the members were hurt and they had one of their most successful hit about this incident, Eskive.

Kanaval Controversy

After the kanaval for 2003, the T-Vice and Djakout feud started to reach a more personal level. Especially, after Djakout Mizik started attacking the Roberto brothers' parents in their kanaval skits. In Djakout's skit for the kanaval song for 2003, Sou Sou they did an impression of the mother, Al-Khal, which T-Vice didn't take too lightly. Later, in Djakout's 2006 kanaval song, Gade Pouvwa they did a skit which suggested that the father, Robert Martino was a crackhead. After this song, T-Vice's lead singer, Roberto Martino had his say on the feud and demanded that family members stay out of it. Afterwards, the two members seemed to cool down.
