Fugees — Dónde escucharlo en la radio

The Fugees ( FOO-jeez) are an American hip-hop group formed in South Orange, New Jersey, in 1990. The trio of Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel became known for their fusion of hip-hop and R&B with elements of reggae, soul and other musical styles across the African diaspora. Derived from "refugees", their name references Jean's immigrant background, his and Michel's Haitian heritage, and recurring themes of resilience. The group's socially conscious lyrics, eclectic sound, and use of live instrumentation stood apart during the gangsta rap-dominated era, establishing them as one of the most significant acts in alternative hip-hop.

Beginning their careers under the name Tranzlator Crew, the group signed with Ruffhouse Records, an imprint of Columbia. After working with Kool & the Gang's Ronald "Khalis" Bell, they adopted the name Fugees and released their debut album Blunted on Reality (1994). The album featured the singles "Nappy Heads" and "Vocab", with the former entering the Billboard Hot 100.

Their second album, The Score (1996), spawned the hit singles "Fu-Gee-La", "Killing Me Softly", and "Ready or Not". The New York Times described the Fugees as being "at the forefront of pop music" that same year. The Score peaked atop the Billboard 200 and was later certified 7× Platinum by the RIAA. It became the second rap album to receive a Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year, and for a time held the title of the best-selling hip-hop album of all time.
