Rapper, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and all around musical genius Wyclef Jean has a way of infusing world music into his projects, resulting in his singular sound. Born in Haiti, he came to prominence in the '90s as part of seminal hip-hop trio the Fugees. The success of their sophomore effort The Score would propel the trio to superstardom, prompting Jean to release his eclectic debut solo album The Carnival. It was a commercial and critical hit—spawning hit single “Gone Till November”—and marked the beginning of his successful solo, producing, and acting career.
