With the success of Wyclef Jean’s new album, the Carnival Vol. II: Memoirs of an Immigrant, and with his latest single “the Sweetest Girl” topping the charts for the last couple months, I thought this would be the perfect time to look back on the night that I caught up with the great Wylcef Jean at Matt Damon’s OneXOne Charity Event at the brand new Opera House in Downtown, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Mr.Jean had some cool things to say about the Carnival Vol. II, which features everyone from Mary J. Blige to Paul Simon to Chamillionaire. With production by T.I. and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, this album has been burring a hole through CD decks everywhere since it’s release, an instant classic I highly recommend copping it.
Hope you enjoy the interview, Stay tuned to KayvonTV for more great episodes!!
