Moving from Haiti to New Jersey at the age of nine, Wyclef Jean has become a major figure in the Haitian diaspora in the United States. With The Fugees, Jean created some of the most memorable and powerful hip-hop of the ’90s with his bandmates Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel. Since 1997, the multi-instrumentalist has been on a solo kick, creating socially-conscious and party-rocking music across the spectrum of genre.
