The Fugees is an American hip hop group formed in the early 1990s in South Orange, New Jersey. The group consists of Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, and Pras Michel. Known for their innovative blend of hip hop, soul, and reggae, the Fugees achieved significant critical and commercial success, particularly with their second album, "The Score."
Their debut album, "Blunted on Reality," was released in 1994 and received moderate attention. However, it was their second album, "The Score," released in 1996, that catapulted them to international fame. "The Score" included hit singles like "Killing Me Softly," "Ready or Not," and "Fu-Gee-La." The album showcased their unique sound and socially conscious lyrics, selling over 22 million copies worldwide and winning two Grammy Awards.
The Fugees are also known for their strong individual talents. Lauryn Hill's soulful voice and sharp lyrics, Wyclef Jean's musical versatility, and Pras Michel's distinctive rap style contributed to the group's dynamic and influential sound.
Despite their success, internal conflicts and individual ambitions led to the group's disbandment in 1997. Lauryn Hill went on to release her critically acclaimed solo album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," in 1998, while Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel also pursued solo careers.
The Fugees have reunited for several performances and tours over the years, most notably in 2004 for Dave Chappelle's Block Party and briefly in 2021 for a world tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of "The Score."
The Fugees remain one of the most celebrated hip hop groups of all time, known for their innovative music, powerful messages, and significant impact on the genre.
