    Wyclef Jean Meets the Mentees
    Teachers get time off, but mentorship knows no bounds. The other day, Wyclef Jean settled into an armchair in a Los Angeles studio and logged on to Skype. He was wearing red vinyl high-tops and oversized aviator sunglasses. To do: video-chat with fledgling musicians. The session had been organized by Fiverr, an online marketplace for freelancers; for a fee of a hundred dollars, an artist could get twenty minutes of one-on-one mentorship from the former member of the Fugees.

    Wyclef Jean Receives Key to the City of Brooklyn
    Though  Wyclef Jean  has been rather mum on the music end in 2018, the tremendous strides he's made over the course of his nearly 30-year career have not gone unnoticed. Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams awarded Wyclef his key to the city on behalf of the borough and its 2.6 million residents last Thursday (Aug. 16). Brooklyn is one of the many stomping grounds the Haitian-born rapper grew up in as a child. After relocating to New Jersey in his teens, Wyclef went on to form the legendary  Fugees  collective and has sense won multiple awards for their musical efforts, as well as his own solo projects and business ventures.

Adams awarded him with the key to the borough Jean once called home. The Fugees co-founder is the third hip-hop artist to receive such an honor in a little over a year, following Brooklyn natives Fabolous, and the night’s master of ceremonies,  Big Daddy Kane .

    Wyclef Jean & Canibus Scab Old Wounds On "Letter To Canibus"
    Wyclef Jean has returned with a new single titled “Letter To Canibus” featuring — that’s right — Canibus. Despite their tumultuous history, the two MCs have evidently made peace. Their contentious relationship stretches back over two decades when  Canibus was signed to Clef’s Refugee imprint. Clef was enlisted to produce Canibus’ debut album, 1998’s Can-I-Bus,  and when it failed to do well, Canibus blamed Clef. Read more: hiphopdx.com
