In an inspiring leap forward for independent music, Haitian-American artist Lajankid has inked a publishing deal with UnitedMasters, a platform known for reshaping the future of music ownership. This milestone not only marks a career evolution for Lajankid but also highlights the rise of a generation of artists determined to keep their stories and their rights intact.
To commemorate the occasion, Lajankid dropped “Ou Pa La Ankò,” a soul-baring single rooted in loss, spiritual growth, and identity. Sung entirely in Haitian Creole, the track transcends language barriers, tapping into universal emotions of grief, love, and inner transformation.
A Sound That Speaks from the Soul Rather than opting for overproduced beats or fleeting trends, Lajankid keeps it raw. The stripped-back production on “Ou Pa La Ankò” allows every lyric and every note to breathe, echoing the silence that often follows emotional absence. One standout lyric— “Ou lage m ankò / M pa gen yon lòt” (“You left me again / I have no one else”) —reveals a vulnerability that’s rare in today’s musical climate.
“This release is sacred,” says Lajankid. “It’s for anyone who’s ever had to carry pain and still show up with strength.”
What the Deal Means The partnership with UnitedMasters unlocks new potential for Lajankid’s catalog: international placements, sync opportunities for film and television, and creative collaborations—all while maintaining his independence.
Through his own movement, AIM the Label, Lajankid continues to be more than just a recording artist. He’s a curator of emotion, a vessel for culture, and a bold new voice for the Haitian diaspora.
Artist on a Mission Lajankid’s sound isn’t just about music—it’s about healing. By blending elements of Afro-Caribbean rhythms, minimalism, and raw soul, he’s building a bridge between tradition and the future. Every track he creates is a story, a mirror, and a call to connect.
