Next Tuesday Wyclef Jean will release his new studio album, The Carnival II: Memoirs of an Immigrant.  The album is his first since 2003’s Preacher’s Son and the follow-up to his ’97 smash debut, The Carnival.  In a ten year span Wyclef will have released six studio albums, and for those counting at home, that is one consistent work load.  On the new song, Slow Down, Clef talks about the speed at which we live our lives, and with the assistance of the house-arrested T.I., reminds us all to stop and think before making decisions.  While the guest feature on Slow Down may seem a bit ironic, the recording was completed following T.I.‘s arrest, jailing and preliminary hearing.  Despite being unable to adhere to the significance of the song, T.I. will at least benefit from the opportunity to contribute to quality music.

I'm not one for these tropical beats, so in my opinion, TI got a better deal with his Wycliff callab.

Wyclef and T.I. make an awesome collabo. It's about time that Wyclef gets nationwide props he deserves. I was just listening to The Score this afternoon and he is most definitely an underrated MC, singer, and producer.

Damn! This really sux for TI. He is definitely one of my favorite characters in the hip-hop game...he also has a bit of Tupac in him (along with young buck, jim jones, 50 and at times a few others). He is most likely going down for a few years at least, but this track will remind us to do the right thing like TI couldn't seem to do, but hey...we all make mistakes! Hold ya head TI!

this song is all over the place, it sounds strange as anything. but I like the two artists so I guess it's decent enough to hear, I love the slower Caribbean type beat, and saying "he got a crush on mary jane" is a clever ass line! FREE T.I.

Wow.. how could anyone compare jim jones 50 and young buck to tupac.. that's the most ignorant thing i've ever heard. all those overated rappers do is rap about material things. Tupac was a poet these lames are not. Anyways.. The song's hot! Wyclef goes hard!

Wyclef is a great songwriter, producer, and humanitarian. Keep up the good work. This is not exactly a tropical song, but a simple-pop track with a positive message.
Sorry TI that your boy snitch on you. That's why I don't keep anyone close to me. I live by the motto: Trust no one!
