Janjak Ravix Everything started at 14 September 1995, young pregnant Haitian girl named Ertha age of 18 was rushed to his father house with old soviet motorcycle M-72. She was about to give birth to Janjak as people around him started to play the drums and father of Ertha started ritual. Janjak was born that night but Ertha died from losing too much blood, who was Janjak's father was mystery as Ertha was raped 9 months earlier by two masked guys in the slums. Father of Ertha was the local houngan of the slums and Janjak started learning the traditions of voodoo from very early age. At age of four he started helping his big family by gathering fruits and in the rituals. Grandpa started realising that life in slums didn't mean that Janjak would have bright future and probably end in the street gangs. Family of Ravix usually travelled to the Marigot from the capital where they started loading the fruits into the boats and next step was to row towards the Pedernales, border of Dominican Republic. Days of travel ended at the shore where they had to unload all the fruits and start carrying them to the border where market located, hours of waiting while watching how the Dominicans choose the best selling spots in the market and getting hit by the Dominican border guards was all that Janjak could remember from his chilhood memories at the Dominician border. After border guards let Haitians in was time to sell the fruits at the market which took whole day before returning back to the boat and sailing to the home. Nights was most dangerous time at the streets especially to girls but Janjak never really got hurt in the slums but he saw many times other people getting hurt and killed, dead bodies laying down on the street after small fight of gangsters. To see death everyday became just normal to Janjak and he anyways saw more in the rituals of his grandpa. Voodoo was important in his family and rituals happened often at Grandpa's house, drinking blood and eating raw animal flesh became normal everyday thing to him. Janjak was first scared of the rituals and really unsure about the whole voodoo but he started to take his part in every ritual as playing the drums when he turned five years. What made him change his mind? Friday night was young girl brought to their house, she was not breathing but Grandpa started ritual and after hours of watching that spiritual ritual the girl was pulled up on the nearest chair. She was breathing what Janjak couldn't believe and that was the day he wanted to become houngan and save people, help people was dream of young Janjak. Dreams of Janjak unfortunately didn't go as he planned and year 2002 grandpa of Janjak send him to Florida on the boat without warning, Janjak never really got to know why but he knew it was for good as Grandpa always loved Janjak and wanted to him have best possible future in his life. Janjak came to USA as immigrant and after long paperworks he was send to children's home of society with other Haitians kids. No one couldn't speak english and they started learning in the home before going to the school at age of eight. School times in Miami was tough for Janjak, he got bullied alot by other kids and wasn't only Haitian kid who got bullied in that school. Many Haitians kid was bullied because of their poor English and other reasons.. Janjak hated school and wanted to go back to his grandpa, to Haiti. Watching how all the American children had expensive clothes and new skateboards made many Haitians jealous in the neighbourhood. When Janjak turned twelwe he was getting bullied once again by same students in the toilets, getting kicked into his stomach while laying down on the ground and punched. After the toilet was empty and Janjak was left alone on the ground he heard someone entering. It was his classmate Stanley who was also Haitian and from the same home approached him, crouching and helping Janjak up from the ground. Stanley told Janjak that "We can't let them do this to us, we have to fight back." in that case Janjak agreed. They started recruiting other Haitian boys because together they were strong then alone. As they grow up they realised there was bigger groups and gangs in the city like Top Six and Zoe Pounds and many teenagers from their school joined to those gangs. Janjak wanted to learn English better and started after the school to go on the extra courses of English. Hanging out at the streets with other Haitians was funniest time of the day and soon Janjak started to learn the most important rules in that concrete jungle, the first and most important rule was code of silence. Janjak never stopped following the traditions of voodoo and his culture when he moved to the United States of America, and he got introduced to local mambo from Lil Haiti. They became good friends with Janjak and he even used to help her in the rituals. Janjak used to remember his life back in Haiti always before he felt asleep, all those long hot days gathering fruits or playing football in the slums with the other kids and the smell from the trash which never leaves the street. What kind of person was his mother Ertha, was she beautiful and kind? No one never answered to those questions and he never thought about asking those questions from the grandpa and now it was too late.. One day Janjak and his friends were watching TV music channel at one of his friends, 50 cent - In Da Club started playing and it blow everyone mind in the room. Everyone started rapping chorus and waving hands along the rhytm, he became big idol to many youngsters that time and Janjak was one of them who wanted to be just like him after listening the lyrics. He started looking for the 50 Cent albums in the shops but after finding one and realising that he doesn't have enough money for the album Janjak stoled something for the first time. Janjak and his friends listened the album for weeks as they started planning ways to earn money. Songs from the album told about selling drugs but no one had money to even start selling so the group started stealing electronics and clothes. Boys started to finally earn money by stealing and selling further the stoled stuff, Janjak also dreamed about becoming rapper and started writing lyrics as Stanley used to beatbox next to him. Nothing really changed in the life before 2010 when Janjak was partying his birthday with the friends in the yard, they saw two familiar guys walking on the street. It was the students from the same school those same students who used to bully with other kids Haitians, everyone rushed towards them. Starting to hit them and kicking as they felt down on the ground, one guy from the group pull out his butterfly knife, starting to stab one of the bullies around the body. After beating and stabbing everyone left the street as the victims was left laying on the ground, but there was consequences. Next day friend of Janjak who stabbed that bully on the street was shot while walking back home from the school, war started between the groups. Violence continued for weeks untill one day Stanley and Janjak decided to go revenge, following the bully after the school to his house and waiting for the night. When time was night they climbed over the fence to the backyard, backdoor was open and Stanley pulled out S&W from his weist before rushing inside the house. Stanley woke up the parents of "bully" and forced them on the ground as Janjak pulled his "schoolmate" from the hair towards living room. All members of the family was laying down on the ground, hands behind their back. Sametime Janjak was heating the iron before bringing it closer to bully and burning his neck with the hot iron, afterwards Stanley emptied his clip at the victims and both of the boys escaped from the crime scene. Janjak didn't feel sadness or sympathy as he laid down on his bed thinking about what he just did to the family. Stanley got caught later on the week in the school for carrying gun and was interrogated by cops about murder happened that night but didn't talk anything about Janjak. Stanley was never seen after that day in school and Janjak was sure he will never be seeing him again. Janjak was lost and didn't know what to do, so he decided to ask from local mambo to make ritual for him. People started playing drums around the Janjak and dancing ritual began.. next day waking up to taste of blood in his mouth Janjak didn't have any memories from the ritual. Mambo told him that future tells to go west and thats were Janjak decided to head, bringing his past with him.
