Title: Wyclef Jean - The Preacher's Son
Review: Yes, it is true that Wyclef has strayed from traditional hip-hop. Far away. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. This album is filled with many hits, and few misses. Wyclef has always been an innovator, and this is most evident on "The Preacher's Son." He mixes and matches so many musical styles, and the listener is introduced to a new one on nearly every song. Some of the guests featured are Carlos Santana, on the upbeat "Three Nights In Rio", Patti Labelle on the nostalgic "Celebrate", and Scarface and Rah Digga on the more rap-influenced "Next Generation". The production is excellent overall, thanks primarily to Wyclef and his parter in crime, Jerry "Wonder" Duplessis. Wyclef's message is positive and relatively simple: if a man who grew up on the streets of Brooklyn can succeed liek he has, then anyone can. This CD may not be for everyone, but for those who can appreciate good music, I highly recommend it.
