Rapstation.com and House of Blues Digital, Inc. present the second show of their Hip Hop and rap concert series, with Wyclef Jean performing via video cybercast on Friday, November 19 at 6:00pm PST / 9:00pm EST. The concert series made its debut on October 19th with a live video webcast of a Public Enemy performance at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles.

Wyclef Jean's concert video webcast can be seen by logging onto www.HOB.com, and is available to any Internet user with a 28.8 or 56K modem, ISDN, DSL, T1 or cable modem.

After shooting to worldwide fame with his Fugees cohorts, Wyclef Jean recently delivered his first solo side project, Wyclef Jean Presents The Carnival Featuring the Refugee All-Stars - a concoction of Hip Hop mixed with traditional reggae, disco, world beat and Caribbean rhythms. Last month, Wyclef teamed with U2's Bono to release the single, "New Day," to benefit the Wyclef Jean Foundation, Net Aid and War Child.
