Bio

Fugees (sometimes The Fugees; formerly Tranzlator Crew) was an American hip hop group who rose to fame in the early 1990s.Their repertoire included elements of hip hop, soul and Caribbean music, particularly reggae.The members of the group were rapper/singer/producer Wyclef Jean, rapper/singer/producer Lauryn Hill, and rapper/producer Pras Michel.Deriving their name from a shortening of the word "refugees", Jean and Michel are Haitian, while Hill is American. Before disbanding in 1997, the group recorded two albums, one of which, The Score (1996), was a multi-Platinum and Grammy-winning success and contains their hit single "Killing Me Softly".Hill and Jean each went on to successful solo recording careers; Michel focused on soundtrack recordings and acting, though he found commercial success with his song "Ghetto Supastar".In 2007, MTV ranked them the 9th greatest Hip-hop group of all time.
