Wyclef Jean - Carnival Vol. II: Memoirs of an Immigrant

Life is a carnival for Wyclef Jean, whose solo albums are hip hop’s most colorful and diverse projects, tapping guests and styles from every corner of the planet. ’Clef’s latest is no exception. Featuring Bollywood beats, Brazilian vibes, dancehall grooves and rhythms from his native Haiti, it’s a pan-global party album with eclectic collaborators like Mary J. Blige, Paul Simon, Sizzla, Norah Jones, Akon and ’Clef’s “Hips Don’t Lie” partner Shakira. The former Fugee would undoubtedly make a cool UN ambassador.
