Bel Kreyol of the day is Haiti's own, Eunide Edouarin, better know as Princess Eud.

Eud is one of the best know female rappers in Haiti. Her talent, drive and natural beauty has gotten her recognized as a serious contender in a male dominated industry.  
She started off as part of the rap group, Le Tribu de Job, and featured on collaborations with industry shakers like Izolan. It quickly became obvious that the composure-lyricist was a voice to be heard.  

Through a blossoming solo-career, Princess Eud travels nationally and internationally, rhyming and promoting Haiti through her positive lyrics of the country she loves and life from a young Haitian woman's perspective.  
And this little pint-sized princess, is not letting anything get into her way, recently adding designer to her long list of accomplishments.  

As a young woman, Princess Eud is a positive roll model and motivation for a lot of the youth in Haiti, a place where some have no voice.  Princess Eud is that voice.
