Wyclef: "More Bottles" featuring Timbaland
"He's like more bottles, more bottles, but he don't know that the pirate's on arrival."
New solemn yet bumping club banger by Wyclef Jean, featuring and produced by Timbaland. Haunting keys accompained by Wyclef's lyrics of warning give this song a reggae enfused vibe of "laugh now, cry later", or, dare I say, "don't go out tonight, cause it's bound to be your last...there is a bad moon on the rise..." Download it below, and play this at your next bbq.
