Fugees were a critically-acclaimed New Jersey hip hop group that rose to fame in the mid-1990s,
whose repertoire included elements of soul, and Caribbean music, particularly reggae.
The members of the group are rapper/singer/producer Wyclef Jean, rapper/singer Lauryn Hill,
and rapper Pras Michel. Deriving their name from the term "refugee", Jean and Michel are of
Haitian heritage, while Hill, though from South Orange, New Jersey, is of Jamaican descent.
The group recorded two albums — one of which, The Score (1996), was a multi-platinum and
Grammy-winning success — before going their separate ways after 1997.
Hill and Jean each went on to successful solo recording careers, while Michel focused mainly
on soundtrack recordings and acting.
