Wyclef Jean is also about to drop a new album on the hip hop massives, so I've rounded up some audio for anyone who wants to preview it. Wyclef Jean’s Carnival II: Memoirs Of An Immigrant is being described as "Hollywood meets Bollywood" because of the eastern influences in the music, but the vocals are more influenced by the Caribbean. Maybe "West Indies meets East Indies" would be more accu.

When Wyclef hooked up with T.I. to work on a few songs for TIP's upcoming album early this year, it also sparked the beginning of 'Clef's own LP. The Carnival 2 began to take form from those sessions, and the final product is scheduled to hit stores very soon.
