Although a possible Fugees reunion is still up in the air, mastermind Wyclef Jean was open to discussing his new music as the Fugees’ second and final album,
The Score, inches past its 20th anniversary. However, the situation going on in Jean’s homeland of Haiti seemed to be at the forefront of his mind.
Hurricane Matthew‘s destructive path has already taken over 1,000 lives in the small Caribbean country.
“When you live in these regions, you’re not going to avoid natural disasters,” Wyclef explained in an
interview with John Norris for Pigeons & Planes. “But somehow different islands are able to manage it in a way that they’re able to prepare for it through logistics, before it happens. The situation in Haiti, the whole southern coast—it’s sort of like the levee situation that happened in New Orleans. Very low-lying, there are cars floating, lots of destruction and the amount of deaths, they are not sure yet. The urgency right now is for shelter, wearables, and food and medicine.”
