Worldwide superstar, Wyclef Jean is back at it. The Haitian native and founding member of The Fugees is releasing his first studio album in seven years. Aptly named Carnival III: Road To Clefication, the album will be released this fall via Heads Music and features contributions from Afrojack, Emeli Sandé, and multiplatinum DJ/recording artist Avicii. In fact, Avicii is responsible for Wyclef’s new album’s title. “It’s a nickname he gave to me,” Jean explains. “We were in Stockholm recording and he said, ‘We need some ‘Clefication.’ Now when I’m in the studio with other producers from his generation, they’ll say, ‘Yo we need some ‘Clefication’ on the vocal before I swag it up.’ It’s the human application of music.”

The latest single from the album, “Hendrix”, was released today via Complex and will be available tomorrow on all digital platforms. Speaking with Complex, Wyclef says about the track, “This speaks to the neighborhood I grew up in and how it didn’t look like much. The devil, or the streets, offered drugs and cartel and I chose music. Some homies chose the NBA, or we would see people like Shaq who are from Newark and see how they made it out the danger zone.”
