Kassidje
December 31, 2011. Kassidje — real name Jessica Petro — drops "A PA TAW" featuring Doc J. One of the oldest catalogued Bouyon Gwada releases, and she's a woman, at 160 BPM, in a scene with no streaming platform yet. With Gaza Izzy, La Barbie, DJ'Angel and Ghetto Princess, she forms the core of Gaza Girls Crew — distinct from Gaza Crew (Suppa) and Yellow Gaza (Vador, DJ Joe, Asa Banton). Fifteen years later, she's back: "Deja Koke" with Gwada G drops in 2026 and places her back in the present. The bridge between the first hardcore wave and today's female generation.

Why this profile matters
Kassidje is the most documented voice of Gaza Girls Crew, the female collective of the first hardcore Bouyon Gwada wave 2007-2013. Important: three Gaza groups coexist at that time and must not be confused. Yellow Gaza is Vador, DJ Joe and Asa Banton, the live pole. Gaza Crew is the collective founded by Suppa, centered on him. Gaza Girls Crew is them — the women — and Kassidje is its main voice. Le Courrier de Guadeloupe cites her in print in the "vrai phénomène de société" article. les plateformes streaming and Amazon Music lock the date: "A PA TAW (feat. Doc J)" drops December 31, 2011 — one of the oldest catalogued Bouyon Gwada releases. Her real name Jessica Petro is kept in the registry. The 2026 crawl doesn't lose her: "Deja Koke" with Gwada G places her back in the present, fifteen years after her debut. The bridge she makes between hardcore Gaza Girls and the MiiMii KDS / HollyG / Theodora generation is rare and precious.

GW
Dominican Bouyon artist
Gwada G
Gwada G, real name Kernel Stevens, is a Dominican artist from Layou. He really breaks out with "Wake Me Up", landed alongside NICE. His current hit "Up To" goes viral on TikTok thanks to a left-to-right head movement that takes over feeds. His Saint Martin circulation then comes through BRG Hollywood — not from an SXM origin.
DO
Bouyon artist · first Gwada wave
Doc J
December 31, 2011. Kassidje Gazagirl's "A PA TAW" single drops with Doc J as feature — one of the oldest catalogued Bouyon Gwada releases. And Doc J is already there. For six years, he becomes one of the male voices of the first hardcore wave with Suppa, DJ Joe and Weelow. His "doc-j-officiel" SoundCloud drops "WE LOVE BOUYON" with Kassidje in September 2012. Le Courrier de Guadeloupe cites him in print. The "Bouyon Hardcore 2k13" mix lists him among the five names defining the era. Not a global Bouyon name, but a pillar of Gwada hardcore memory.
SU
Bouyon artist · Gaza Crew founder
Suppa
On November 16, 2011, Suppa uploads "I Don't Kow" to the Vadore Concept SoundCloud. Nobody knows it yet, but it's one of the very first public audio traces of Bouyon Gwada that survives today. Lincoln Robin by his real name, Suppa is Dominican-born, Guadeloupe-based, and he carries the lead voice of the first wave (Act II). He founds Gaza Crew, crosses the Atlantic to Paris in December 2012, and keeps circulating across the European scene through 2013. That same year, he is killed in Guadeloupe. The scene loses its central singer barely 25 years old.
GA
Female Bouyon Gwada collective
Gaza Girls Crew
2010, Bouyon Gwada starts circulating between Dominica and Guadeloupe. Five women form Gaza Girls Crew: Kassidje (Jessica Petro), Gaza Izzy, La Barbie, DJ'Angel and Ghetto Princess. They ride at 160 BPM hardcore in a scene institutions are already trying to slow down — la presse dominicaine documents the tension in 2012. Distinct from Gaza Crew (Suppa's collective) and Yellow Gaza (Vador, DJ Joe, Asa Banton), they drop "Sa Zot Vle" on the Bouyon Concept label in 2011, then "A PA TAW" the same year. The December 2012 Paris set takes them into the diaspora. Bouyon's women are there more than ten years before the New Bouyon Wave.

Gaza Crew
In the early 2010s, when Suppa (Lincoln Robin) lands in Guadeloupe from Dominica, he does not just join Yellow Gaza. He founds his own collective: Gaza Crew. Not a clone, not a branch — a neighbouring entity, centred on him. For three years, this collective carries 160 BPM hardcore Bouyon with releases that stay in people's memory: the Vadore Concept SoundCloud trace in 2011, the Gaza Girls' "Sa Zot Vle" single the same year, the December 2012 Paris set in the diaspora. In 2013, Suppa dies. The collective stops, but its memory still feeds the entire contemporary Bouyon Gwada.
YE
Bouyon Gwada collective
Yellow Gaza
Yellow Gaza is one of the pillar projects of Act II of Bouyon in Guadeloupe (2007-2013). Driven by Vador, DJ Joe and Asa Banton, the collective was the first stage bridge between Dominica and Guadeloupe: it opened the road for Gaza Girls, Suppa and the whole Guadeloupean generation that followed. Distinct from Gaza Crew (founded by Suppa), Yellow Gaza remains a founding trace in the Bouyon Gwada memory long before the platform era.
JO

DJ Joe
2007. Bouyon has just landed in Guadeloupe, and DJ Joe sets his decks on the first Yellow Gaza sets. With Vador and Asa Banton, he's one of the three who carry the 160 BPM hardcore sound from Dominica to Pointe-à-Pitre. In December 2012, he hits a Paris stage with Suppa and the Gaza Girls — one of the first times Bouyon Gwada steps outside the Caribbean. Ten years later, he drops "Bwé rhum" with Asa Bantan in 2023 and proves he never left the table.
WE
Bouyon artist · first Gwada wave
Weelow
In 2012, Weelow (also known as Wee Low, possible identity Wilow Desirade) drops two singles on the Bouyon King / Label Bouyon Music label: "Ni Sa La" and "Frappéy". les plateformes streaming still holds them today — catalogue proof of the first hardcore Gwada wave. Le Courrier de Guadeloupe cites him in print with Gaza Girls and Doc J. The "Bouyon Hardcore 2k13" mix places him with Suppa, DJ Joe and Doc J as one of the five names of the era. Not a global pillar — his role is historical, anchored in the first Gwada wave — but without him, the Bouyon Gwada 2012 label infrastructure would not exist the way we read it today.
