TIMELINE

Fugeesbutton.gif (123 bytes) The Fugees reign from New York City and consists of Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel. The band mixes styles of hip-hop, rap, reggae, Caribbean, and R&B to create their sound. Pras and Hill originally formed a group together (while attending the same high school in New Jersey), and Pras' cousin, Clef, joined in. Originally known as the Tranzlator Crew, the trio changed their name to Fugees (short for Refugees, in reference to their Caribbean roots).

1993...

February
Fugees - Blunted On Realitybutton.gif (123 bytes) The Fugees' debut LP, Blunted On Reality, was released (two years after it was finished due to internal label problems). The LP left little impact and is not considered to be a great effort by the trio. Even the band admits the LP was a product of their youth, exuberance for having a record deal, and over-zealous producers. Remixes of a few tracks from the LP ("Nappy Heads" and "Vocab") showed the Fugees' potential for impressive music and vocals and allowed the band to begin gaining a fan base. Also, Clef said the LP was a stepping-stone for hip hop music: "...this is what hip hop needed for the music to go to the next level where you could pick up a guitar, or sing, and not feel like you've gotta front."

1994...

June
button.gif (123 bytes) The Fugees topped the Billboard Hot Dance Music Maxi-Singles Sales chart for 2 weeks with "Nappy Heads."

1995...

December
button.gif (123 bytes) The Fugees topped the Billboard Hot Dance Music Maxi-Singles Sales chart for 3 weeks with "Fu-Gee-La."

1996... Fugees: # 6 Singles Artist of the Year

February
Fugees - The Scorebutton.gif (123 bytes) The Fugees second LP, The Score, became one of the top LPs of the year driven by the radio success of a remake of Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly." Although the band had some success with the first single, "Fu-Gee-La," their remake of "Killing Me Softly" crossed over to the pop charts and became a #1 hit on many musical platforms. Follow-up tracks such as "No Woman, No Cry" (a remake of Bob Marley's classic) and "Ready Or Not" didn't maintain the radio airplay saturation, but did continue gaining fans with intriguing videos and by showcasing the Fugee's ability to change their musical styles.
button.gif (123 bytes) Hill said of
The Score, "...it's like how radio was back in the 40s... it tells a story and there are cuts and breaks in the music... it's almost like a hip hop version of Tommy like what the Who did for rock & roll."

June
button.gif (123 bytes) The Score was certified 4x platinum.
button.gif (123 bytes) The Fugees influence on music in 1996 and continuing into 1997 was more than memorable tunes and snappy riffs. The popularity of the Fugees was also a product of their message. Through their music and interviews, the trio's words questioned the popularity of violence in hip-hop music and inspired other artists, such as Nas, to succeed with similar messages and change the direction of hip-hop music.
button.gif (123 bytes) Hill founded The Refugee Project which is a non-profit organization that has so far organized free concerts in New York and Haiti.
