Mach-Hommy is an American rapper and record producer of Haitian descent. He is well-known for his reclusive nature, concealing his real name and face in all public appearances.[1] This behavior has led him to be described as "one of hip-hop's most elusive artists".[2]

Mach-Hommy has gained a cult following as a result of his work ethic and elusiveness. His lyrics are often heavily related to the social and political history of his Haitian heritage. Though he predominantly raps in English, he also frequently incorporates Haitian Kreyòl into his lyrics. He forbids lyric sites to post transcriptions of the words to his songs,[3] and he charges hundreds and even thousands of dollars for his releases, many of which are not available on streaming services.
