    Wyclef Jean on how art, celebrity and politics all blend together
    For Wyclef Jean, he was given the gift of art for a reason — and part of it is to provide a public service to others. The musician and ex-politician (he ran for president of Haiti in 2010) finds his passions lying somewhere in the intersection between music and politics and he looks to people like U2's Bono for inspiration. "Watching him, I would say he's a perfect role model on how you balance your rock 'n' roll life with charity," he explains. This year, Jean remade his 2004 song, "If I Was President," changing his lyrics to reflect the U.S. presidential election.    Read more: cbc.ca

    Watch the Beachy Video For Wyclef Jean and Young Thug's New Song "I Swear"
    Wyclef Jean reunites with Young Thug on their newest collaboration, "I Swear." The track is pretty much an instant heater with island-infused production and an airy hook that perfectly blends both artists' capabilities, and they reflect the same theme in the beachy music video. This is now the second time the two have linked, with the first coming on Thug's  Jeffery  project on the "Kanye West" track. Thugger named all of his album tracks after his idols that he admires. If you remember, the first track was named for Wyclef Jean so it's no surprise that the rapper would be down to work with Wyclef again.
