“Hip-hop is the foundation of what I do,” says Wyclef Jean, a man whose musical interests extend across virtually all genres – from hardcore rap to acoustic folk, from rock & roll to seething, rhythmic pop. “In high school I lived a double life. I was a jazz major, but if you talked to my friends in the street, they’d say, ‘Well, he was just a battle MC.’ And the hip-hop side of me is Toussaint.”

Shouts to OfficialHustlas.

New visuals from Wyclef’s From The Hut, To The Projects To The Mansion, which is out now.

Still waiting on that Fugee reunion? So is Pras Don’t hold your breath:

“The Fugees getting back together, the magic of it would have been the trust factor. They gotta be willing to put their career in my hands and I’ve got them. Which means like if I’m like do this in the studio you used to do it before, so why you don’t wanna do it now? So to me they’re great and they’re gonna always be great but the Fugees, it’s better that it leaves the myth vibe. Like the score is a myth when you hear it it’s a myth. It was done in the basement. Like you don’t wanna go from there to do a sequel and you’ve destroyed your complete myth.” – Team Yee
