Wyclef Jean on Haiti's World Cup, The Fugees Reunion, Clef Notes, & Running for President

Wyclef Jean sits down with the HOT 97's Mornings With Mero to discuss it all — from Haiti's historic World Cup run and the controversy with Scotland, to the making of his groundbreaking debut album The Carnival (celebrating 30 years), and his ambitious new 7-album project Clef Notes. Wyclef opens up about his childhood in Haiti and the Marlboro projects, learning to rap as a survival mechanism, and the creative vision behind The Carnival that the label thought was crazy. He also reflects on running for president of Haiti in 2010, his plans to develop island tourism, and the urgent need for decentralized banking, job creation through agriculture, and tech education for Haiti's youth. Plus — Wyclef speaks on the Fugees reunion tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Score, addresses Pras Michel's harsh sentence, the collab with G Herbo, bringing Destiny's Child on tour, and his ongoing mission to bridge the divide between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
