In June 15 2008, tragedy struck the group when K-tafalk, Deja-Voo and Dade lost their lives in a horrific car accident that shocked the entire nation. After a few months break from music, the group has resumed activity in October 2008, during a concert of support and remembrance. In November 2008, they released their sophomore album titled "Jiskobou" (Till the end) which eclipsed their previous sale records of 2007. On January 12 2010, the group lost another member, Young Cliff, in the earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince.

Gen yon danje nan peyi a
Virus kap pwopaje k pi danje k VIH
Map fé konnen ak tout akize lè w pran li fè w fou atansyon li pa dire
Maladi sa a rele BARIKAD BINM
Lè moun pran n pyés doktè pap ba li vaksin e koz pou antidot pyès
moun pa genyen l e menm si w antiblod si w atake wap renmen l (chata)
vwa l se nan optik sa fè Barikad Crew defann
dwan e sèl mouvman sa jèn yo genyen kom pot vwa
Se chwa n pou nou kondane pou n pa fè back e se gwa n nap rete soude
devan tout obstak nou di nap Figth san pa fè
bagay sal nou nap kenbe l Tight san fè travay mental
Se li kap domine w
Sa pa jwèt domino
Li ka korije w li ka kabolize w
Se li ki fè nou kwè nou fo epi ki fè
Atak yo nan sèvo w dabo(yeah)
Toujou anba je w kite nasyon panse w flo nou vinn pi danble

Barikad Crew's song Virus touches on the issue of societal peril in Haiti. The lyrics bring up the idea of a virus that is more dangerous than HIV, which is "Barikad Binm," a disease that the government won't vaccinate people against. The song mentions that it is crucial to be cautious because the illness is deadly, and once it attacks, it's challenging to find an antidote. The performers urge young people to be the voice of the people, to stay away from the virus, and not to stop fighting against the disease, even in the face of adversity.
The song is a reflection of the situation in Haiti, which is plagued by corruption, poverty, and societal insecurity, as well as a lack of available vaccines. Barikad Crew uses their lyrics to bring attention to this issue and inspire young Haitians to stay vigilant in their pursuit of creating a better future for their nation. The song's message of perseverance and solidarity highlights the importance of Haitians standing together during tough times, and how they should continue to fight even when the stakes are high.
