Lajan Slim

In the video for Lajan Slim’s breakout single “Haitians,” released in June, the Broward County rapper wears Haiti’s bicolor flag around his forehead and his waist. Red and blue are easily the most prominent colors in the video; that the 22-year-old rapper is proud of his heritage is evident. Lajan Slim is from Lauderhill, a small city that’s just a 30-minute drive from Miami on I-95. As he told The FADER over the phone, “I had a chance to move, but I just love Florida too much.”
