The Score

Release Date: 2018

Fugees delivered The Score in 1996, a hip-hop album built on boom bap beats, conscious lyrics, and inventive covers that turned reggae and folk classics into rap anthems. Lauryn Hill's vocals anchor tracks like their reimagined "Killing Me Softly" while Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel trade verses over sample-heavy production that feels both street-smart and globally minded.

Standout Tracks

• Ready Or Not: Built around a hypnotic sample flip with Hill's commanding hook
• Killing Me Softly With His Song: Their genre-bending cover that made Roberta Flack's classic into a hip-hop standard
• Fu-Gee-La: The bouncing lead single that showcases all three members' distinct styles

Mood: conscious, nostalgic, driving, introspective
