His rise to stardom can be largely credited to collaborations with the best and brightest of the urban music scene, from his beginnings playing piano on Lauryn Hill’s “Everything is Everything,” to his signing with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D.

In light of this summer’s announcement that the Fugees—comprised of Wyclef, Pras, and Lauryn Hill—have reunited, Wyclef will certainly stir significant interest.And, from the looks of things, students’ interest is already piqued. During the first hour of ticket sales, which began at 12 p.m. on Wednesday, 612 tickets were sold ($16 for students, $23 for non-affiliates) from...
