Fugees are an iconic 1990s hip-hop trio composed of Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel. Originating from New Jersey, the group stood out with a distinctive sound blending rap, soul, reggae and political awareness — drawing inspiration from both Afro-Caribbean roots and American social struggles.

Their second album, The Score (1996), became a worldwide phenomenon thanks to timeless hits like Killing Me Softly, Ready or Not and Fu-Gee-La. Though their discography is brief, Fugees’ influence remains monumental, paving the way for solo careers such as Lauryn Hill and inspiring generations of socially aware artists.

Their legacy bridges the conscious reggae spirit of Bob Marley with the evolution of alternative hip-hop, carrying a universal message of unity and resistance.
