Wyclef Jean – Chinatown Sound Freestyle [Video]

Wyclef Jean brings “1990 – Intro: Memory Lane” from Clef Notes into Chinatown Sound’s street-level freestyle format.

Clef steps into Chinatown Sound’s street-level setup for a stripped-down rendition of “1990 – Intro: Memory Lane.” Although the clip carries the series’ usual “Freestyle” label, the verse comes from the opening track of his latest album, Clef Notes – Quantum Leap, Vol. 1.

With the record’s surrounding presentation removed, Wyclef’s autobiographical writing takes center stage. He traces his path from Haiti to the international spotlight, invokes Dave Chappelle’s Block Party and recalls his attempted run for the Haitian presidency without breaking the performance’s conversational flow.

The session follows Wyclef’s recent “Devil’s A Lie Part 2” video. Watch his Chinatown Sound performance below.
