Gonaïves · Moroni · Montreal · The World
We did not arrive here by accident. We are the continuation of something ancient — something that was never given permission to exist, and existed anyway.
3 Percent Global is built on the understanding that we carry more than our own history. Rosalvo and Lens Dupuy were born in Montreal but rooted in Gonaïves, Haiti. Wvssiii was born in Moroni, Comoros. The cities are different. The roots are the same — a tradition of building without permission, of carrying culture across oceans and into rooms that were never designed to receive it.
Heritage, for us, is not nostalgia. It is infrastructure. Understanding where we come from — culturally, spiritually, and historically — is what makes every decision we make more intentional. The twoubadou, the konpa, the sounds of the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean — these are not just influences. They are the foundation.
Troubatrap was not created in a vacuum. It was created by people who understood exactly where they came from and refused to leave it behind when they entered new territory. That is the heritage of 3PG.
“They tried to bury us. They did not know we were seeds.”
— Dinos Christianopoulos“Bridging Roots and Streets.”
— RosalvoThis section is dedicated to the root system. To the artists, thinkers, and ancestors whose work made our work possible. To the cultural lineage — Haitian, Comorian, Caribbean, African — that we carry and are responsible to continue. To the knowledge that was passed down so we could pass it forward.
Rosalvo and Lens Dupuy are rooted in Gonaïves — the city where Haiti declared its independence in 1804. The first Black republic in the world. The 3PG ethos of sovereignty is not abstract. It is ancestral.
Wvssiii was born in Moroni, Comoros — a small island nation in the Indian Ocean with a vast cultural heritage. His presence in 3PG is a signal that this ecosystem is not limited by geography. The frequency travels.
TroubaTrap was created by fusing the twoubadou — the traditional Haitian troubadour tradition — with modern trap. It is not a gimmick. It is a cultural act of preservation and evolution, carried out in real time, with full respect for what came before.
Heritage is not just about looking back. Every module in The Vault, every podcast episode, every piece of knowledge transmitted through 3PG is a letter to someone who is not born yet. We take that responsibility seriously.
