Fugees

American hip hop trio from New Jersey

Fugees ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos

The Fugees were an American hip hop group formed in South Orange, New Jersey in 1990. The trio of Wyclef Jean, Pras Michel, and Lauryn Hill was 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, which occasionally incorporated Haitian Creole.
