Artist Bio:
Fugees was an American hip hop group formed in 1992, consisting of members Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, and Pras Michel. The group's name was derived from a shortening of the word "refugees," reflecting their immigrant backgrounds and desire to promote unity and social justice through their music. Fugees achieved mainstream success with their second album, "The Score," released in 1996, which featured hit singles like "Killing Me Softly" and "Ready or Not."
The group's unique blend of hip hop, R&B, and reggae elements, along with their socially conscious lyrics, garnered critical acclaim and a large fan base. Despite their success, Fugees disbanded in 1997 to pursue solo careers. Each member went on to have successful solo careers in music, with Lauryn Hill in particular achieving great success as a solo artist. Fugees' impact on the music industry is undeniable, as they are considered pioneers in blending genres and promoting messages of unity and empowerment.
