Clefstravaganza: Wyclef Drops New Video, Book, Explains Fugees Breakup

Words by Jesse Serwer—

His political aspirations and the Yele controversy behind him (for the time being), Wyclef Jean is back to focusing on music, and the personal. A suddenly ubiquitous Clef has spoken out publicly about the end of his relationship with Lauryn Hill, released his first book and dropped new music, all in the last 24 hours or so. The comments about Lauryn and the book are part of the same conversation, as Purpose: An Immigrant’s Story includes the detail that the Fugees ended due to Lauryn’s pregnancy with her first child with Rohan Marley—or, more specifically, Lauryn’s leading Clef to believe that the child was his.

Video: Stacy Barthe Wants to “Keep It Like It Is”

Words by Jesse Serwer—

Big week over here for tunes about being over it. First Tarrus Riley told his ex-flame he’s “Not Missing You” with an exclusive LargeUp premiere of his song by that name, and now we have the video for “Keep It Like It Is” from Stacy Barthe, the Haitian/Dominican songwriter for Rihanna/Britney Spears/Katy Perry turned John Legend-affiliated artist. The Supa Dups-produced reggae joint from Barthe’s In the InBetween EP, which we featured in purely audio form back in February, is an ice-cold sayonara to an ex who just won’t take the hint. Barthe, on the other hand, shows just how past him (note singer Luke James‘ image in the burning photo) she is by tooling around the islands on a motorboat and liming with her band. Stacy looks like she’s having the time of her life—no wonder dude is trying to creep back into it.
