From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wyclef Jean (born October 17, 1969 in Croix-des-Bouquets) is a Haitian musician, record producer, and politician. At age nine, Jean moved to the United States with his family and has spent much of his life in the country. He first received fame as a member of the acclaimed New Jersey hip hop group the Fugees. Along with being a world famous and highly respected performing artist, he is now a visiting fellow at Brown University in the Department of Africana Studies.

On August 5, 2010, Jean filed for candidacy in the 2010 Haitian presidential election, although the Electoral Commission subsequently ruled him ineligible to stand as he had not met the requirement to have been resident in Haiti for five years.

DJ Megan Ryte is a New York based DJ who had, what she thought, was a wonderful idea: Release an album after suffering four strokes. It can be said that an artist’s first album is a product of their entire life’s journey. Megan’s is no different. Her cult-like upbringing gave her the drive to make it in a male dominated industry. By doing so, she was able to garner the needed connections to create an entirely feature based body of work with some of Hip Hop’s biggest stars. Although it sounded like a great idea, everything that could go wrong – did go wrong. In this documentary, Megan breaks down how she released her album in 9 steps, with help from some of her industry friends and family... so you can do the opposite. Or maybe not?
