Artist: Fugees
Fugees are an American hip-hop group formed in South Orange, New Jersey, in 1990. The trio of Wyclef Jean, Pras Michel, and Lauryn Hill were known for their fusion of hip-hop, reggae, R&B, and funk; their socially conscious lyrics; and use of live instrumentation during their performances.Their sound stood apart during the gangsta rap-dominated era, as they became one of the most significant alternative hip-hop acts.Their name, derived from "refugees", referenced Jean's immigrant background, Michel's Haitian heritage, and themes of resilience in their music.They reformed 2004-2005, and again in 2021 for the 25th anniversary of "The Score."
