The Fugees’ Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras are officially reuniting for the 25th anniversary of their classic 1996 album, The Score.
The trio are heading out on a 12-city international tour, kicking off on September 22 with an intimate pop-up show in New York City at an undisclosed location. The rest of the dates will take place between November and December, stopping off in Chicago, Oakland, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, Newark and Washington, DC, before taking things overseas to London, along with shows in Nigeria and Ghana.
The tour will mark the Fugees’ first shows in 15 years, with Live Nation tickets set to go on sale Friday (September 24) at 10 a.m. local time.
The Score celebrated its 25th anniversary earlier this year after being released on February 13, 1996 via Columbia Records. The album featured hit singles such as “Ready or Not” and “Killing Me Softly.”
Peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, the Fugees’ 7x-platinum LP was just the second rap album to receive a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year, and the first for a Hip Hop group. Despite losing out to Celine Dion, they ended up winning Best Rap Album at the 1997 Grammy Awards.
Black Thought Deads Fugees & The Roots Verzuz Rumor
Lauryn Hill initially celebrated the anniversary in February by sharing a throwback photo of the Fugees from that era.
“Thank you to everyone acknowledging the impact of the release of The Score 25 years ago,” she wrote at the time. “The dynamic was not without its complexities, but the art and its impact deserve proper recognition. Special limited edition 25th Anniversary merch collection coming soon.”
Lauren hill coming out 6 hours late while clef sweats into the mic sounds wonderful
Lauren is on drugs. This should be interesting. I’ll give it 3 shows before they fall off and quit. Plus her voice is gone. She sounded so bad in Providence a few years back. Even bad left before she went on stage. So did half the crowd
Even nas*
They should record a new album. Hope they’ve squashed their beefs
Lauren hill is a drug addict why not put Royce “alkaholik” 59 on stage to if you wanne see some clown hip hop!
Fugees and Lauryn had such a good thing going. Then Lauryn got the wokeyitis and decided if she was in the room she obviously engineered wrote and produced it and so she should get all the credit. Now it’s been 25 years since anyone heard anything from her
pretty sure the team that produced Miseducation went on to produce a lot of hits the next decade or so. not saying Lauryn didn’t have skills saw her do a whole show just rapping while playing acoustic guitar. not like she’s some no talent but she got a but ahead of herself imo
pras michael said he wouldn’t reunite for millions of dollars.
He lied. He getting close to really being homeless, just like that documentary he produced
They tried this before, and it failed. Be ready for Lauryn to stop showing up because Clef will say something that reminds her that they used to bump pelvis and he never left his wife for her like he promised.
