Wyclef Jean is currently on the path to a new album titled Carnival III: The Fall and Rise of a Refugee and yesterday released a single off the project named after Nigerian legend, Fela Kuti.
In conversation with XXL, Jean said:“I decided to name it Fela Kuti because for me, I feel like we be thinking of [Bob] Marley, we give a lot of people from our past props, so when the kids hear Fela Kuti, I really want them to Google it.”
On the record which could be a potential summer hit because of its fast tempo and groove friendly beat, Wyclef teams up with Supah Mario, the same producer behind Young Thug’s Wyclef Jean record on the Jeffrey album.
