About Fugees
The Fugees, a groundbreaking American hip-hop group hailing from South Orange, New Jersey, emerged in the early 1990s with a sound that defied conventions. Comprised of Wyclef Jean, Pras Michel, and Lauryn Hill, the trio seamlessly blended jazz-rap, R&B, reggae, and funk, creating a unique musical fusion that stood out in the gangsta rap-dominated era. Their name, derived from "refugees," reflected Jean's immigrant background and Michel's Haitian heritage, infusing their music with themes of resilience and social consciousness. The Fugees gained massive commercial success with their 1996 album "The Score," which remains a classic, showcasing their live instrumentation and thought-provoking lyrics. Their music, often incorporating Haitian Creole, offered a powerful narrative of autonomy and realism, making them one of the most significant alternative hip-hop acts of their time.
