Wyclef Jean is one of the most respected artists of the current hip-hop era. Lauded by critics and fan alike for his clever mix of musicality and political activism, Whyclef is truly a statesman of the people. The Fugees derived their name from the Haitian refugee enclave in NYC from which the band sprang. WELCOME TO HAITI CREOLE 101 not only reflects upon the cultural traditions of Wyclef's heritage and the complex socio-political drama of his native country, but also features a very timely and extraordinarily political radio single "President."
