Down Black Dojo is a Connecticut-based rapper-producer duo on a mission to restore the soul of the genre. Composed of Haitian-born composer ABWYH and CT/North Carolina vocalist Matteo, the group blends meaningful lyricism with a refreshing, global sound. They are currently rolling out their latest project entitled “The Shaman and The Griot.”
Their sound is a distinct fusion of cultures. ABWYH crafts intricate melodies layered with Caribbean undertones and Haitian musical elements, creating a sonic landscape that feels both new and nostalgic. On top of these tracks, Matteo delivers complex rhyme structures and soulful melodies. Drawing from legends like Biggie and J. Cole, his versatile vocal presence—ranging from gritty rap to smooth R&B—ensures every track leaves a lasting impact.
What defines the Dojo is their commitment to music as a tool for inspiration and self-betterment. Every song is a story designed to immerse the listener in a world of encouragement and love.
