Jean, Wyclef : Masquerade
Wyclef 's third solo outing takes the form of radio station 93.1 FM, inspired by 9/3/01, the day his father died in a freak accident. Clef 's splendid embrace of the absurd is still in place (check 'What's Up Pussycat', with Tom Jones), but...
Jean, Wyclef : Two Wrongs

Last time it was a carnival. This time it's just some end- of-the-pier freakshow. Back in '97, when Wyclef emerged with his first post- Fugees record, he was still propelled by deserved acclaim: after 'The Score' , after converting millions...
