    Review: Wyclef Jean Gets Reinvigorated On "J’ouvert" EP
    clef Jean’s reputation as an elite talent is firmly grounded in Hip Hop’s history. However, even with a classic like  The Score  (with Fugees) and a gem like  Carnival  under his belt, this veteran knows you’re only as good as your next hit. As he spits on the opener of his latest EP,  J’ouvert , “all they wanna know is will I get another ring.” Does this album silence doubters à la LeBron James’ comeback last June, or is it proof that Jean is a has-been?

  3. A-Sides with Jon Chattman: ‘Gone’ for Seven Novembers - The Wonder Wyclef Returns

    A-Sides with Jon Chattman: ‘Gone’ for Seven Novembers - The Wonder Wyclef Returns
    Wyclef Jean is a kid in a candy shop right now. As he arrives at the Gibson Showroom in New York City for his  A - Sides  session he’s told he can choose any guitar he wants to play. Shortly thereafter, he leaves the studio and disappears for a good 30 minutes. His publicist lets me know at that time that he’s ready when we are. See, in that whole span, Jean has been trying out just about every instrument in the showroom, and once he steps into the studio he continues his exploits. He sits down on a stool and starts singing and playing Jimi Hendrix’s “Hey Joe.” He gets up, and starts playing piano. He quickly goes back to the stool when he’s told we’re ready to roll, and starts playing Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here.” And then it’s showtime.  Read more: huffingtonpost.com

Similarly, you do not become an award-winning musician, actor, or entertainment star without being able to endure the demands of the industry. The challenge, then, is in figuring out how to navigate those tumultuous waters, still become successful, but preserve yourself in the process. Read more: inc.com
