'Haven't Found' is Both Pras Remake and New Work

Pras, rapping member of The Fugees who already successfully flew solo back in 1998 with his Ghetto Superstar LP, has created a fabulous new cut, which is to appear on his new collection, Win, Lose, or Draw.

On Haven't Found, Pras and a group of talented singers use the U2 song, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, expressive of the universal yearning for God and purpose in life, for its hook and inspiration. Pras' rap lyrics and the impressive video for the song, which you can hear and see here, expand the things we're looking for to include peace with God, with others, with ourselves, and among nations. Yet, the song manages to not be heavy-handed.

MTV reports that Pras and the other members of the Fugees are working on a new CD, ten years after their last collaboration. That's good news.
