BBC Radio 2 - Romesh Ranganathan: For the Love of Hip Hop, The one with Wyclef Jean

The former Fugee and 'perfect gentleman' is Romesh’s guest.

Romesh is back with a stack of tracks running from Jay-Z to Jurassic 5, plus his guest is the Grammy-winning rapper and former Fugee, Wyclef Jean!

For all you rap lovers, haters and no-quite-sure'ers...Romesh is joined by the Grammy winning, multi-platinum selling rapper, Wyclef Jean!

A member of the pioneering hip hop group The Fugees and a prolific solo artist, Wyclef chats to Romesh about some of his hip hop inspirations (from Slick Rick to The Pharcyde), the roots of his unique sound and an unlikely love of...Enya!?

If you're listening on Sounds you also get a pass to Romesh's afterparty - the one where Wyclef sticks around and goes a little deeper about his album The Carnival, which has just turned 25.

Still not enough? Alright go on then, have some high-grade tracks from Stormzy, Macklemore, Jay-Z, Jurassic 5 and Nelly. 
Oh, and Romesh is Going In with Lupe Fiasco.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
