Wyclef Jean - Delilah
Artist: Wyclef Jean
Featuring: Barrington Levy
Producer: Wyclef Jean
Album: The Haitian Experience
Label: Refugee Republic
We’ve seen Schwarzenegger and even ex-wrestler Jesse Ventura become governors, but a celebrity running for president is completely uncharted territory, especially for a musician. Wyclef Jean, a native of Haiti and founding father of The (re)Fugees, decided to do just that last week when he announced that he was running for office in Haiti. Torn apart by poverty and a massive earthquake, we can only hope Wyclef would be as good for Haiti as he has been for hip-hop over the last decade. Luckily, for now, Wyclef is still making records; records like the reggae soaked Delilah. Infused with dancehall and reggae sounds courtesy of Clef himself, Wyclef and guest singer Barrington Levy, known to many hip-hoppers for Shyne’s debut single Bad Boys, team up on for a mellow jam that’s not only perfect for a summer block party, but will officially scare every man in the world from ever dating a woman named Delilah again. In addition to an impending presidential campaign, Wyclef’s also working on his new album, the aptly named The Haitian Experience, which currently has no release date.

Not much love for Clef, eh? To be honest, I am more of a fan of Barrington's work here than I am Clef. I know its Clef's song, but its tailored to the guest accompaniment more than his own musical strengths. This one might come and go, but Clef has enough fans that it shouldn't make much of a difference.

This is pretty cool right here. I am feelin the old school reggae production and Levy ALWAYS makes a track better. I was going to put this into rotation only, but I guess the Trini in me is leaning more towards BANGER status...
