From the Hut, to the Projects, to the Mansion is a concept album released by Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean, released on November 10, 2009.[1] The album, Jean's seventh overall, is a collaboration with disc jockey DJ Drama, which tells the story of the fictional character Toussaint St. Jean, who is based on the 18th century Haitian revolutionary Toussaint L'Ouverture.[6] The album, which was co-produced by Jean and long-term collaborator Jerry 'Wonda' Duplessis, contains guest appearances from Timbaland, Eve, Cyndi Lauper and Lil' Kim, and production from The Runners.

Two singles were released from the album: "Warrior's Anthem", released on October 13,[2] and "You Don't Wanna Go Outside", featuring Maino, released on November 3.[3] "We Made It" and "More Bottles", featuring Timbaland were also released as instant grat downloads following the purchase of the parent album from Wyclef's official store.[1]
