Loyal fans know
Estelle as a vibrant female rapper who started her musical ventures in 2004 with
The 18th Day and went on to release her second album, the gold-certified
Shine, in 2008. Both albums received a great response, making the British singer/occasional rapper a force to be reckoned with.
Having already made her mark on her home turf of the UK, it was time to take her name and achievements to the U.S. Showing no fear whilst being so far away from home, the singer has made a mark in the States since meeting
John Legend and signing to Atlantic/Homeschool Records.
After making her first chart appearance with the
Kanye West-assisted single "American Boy," the success that was to follow was set in stone. Now with a U.S. tour, several accolades and TV appearances all complete, her third studio album,
All Of Me, is out in the open.
Wyclef Jean stops by BET's 106 & Park to discuss his new autobiographical book, Purpose: An Immigrant's Story.
Singer/songwriter/producer/rapper Wyclef Jean is back with his new 13-track EP From The Hut To The Projects To The Mansion, assuming the alias Toussaint St Jean (inspired by the historical Haitian slave-to-revolutionary leader, Toussaint L’Overture, which you can see in essence with the warrior spirit of the album). Supporting this assertive album are some females who know how to hold their own: Lil Kim, Eve and an unexpected but effective collaboration with Cyndi Lauper; as well as a definite club banger with Timbaland, which has the super producer's signature all over it.
