Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras are not just reuniting as the Fugees for a tour; they’re also gearing up to release a new album. According to Page Six, the New Jersey-born rappers are working on their first album together in 27 years. They’ve been keeping the project under wraps, but all three have hinted at a new Fugees album over the past few months. Recently, Hill and her son YG Marley dropped a subtle hint about new music coming soon.
The last time the Fugees released new music as a trio was back in 1996 with their album The Score, featuring hits like “Ready or Not,” “Killing Them Softly,” and “No Woman, No Cry.” The album topped the Billboard 200 chart and won the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 1997. While the trio has pursued solo projects since then, they’ve reunited several times over the years.

The news of their third album broke just days before the BET Awards 2024. Lauryn Hill performed songs from her debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, with a massive live band. She was later joined by her son YG Marley, who performed “Survival” and “Praise Jah In The Moonlight.” Hill also brought out Wyclef Jean to perform “Fu-Gee-La,” giving fans a taste of their upcoming joint tour, “The Miseducation Anniversary Tour.”
Before Lauryn’s hint about the album, both Wyclef and Pras had signaled that new music might be on the way in separate interviews. It looks like the Fugees are ready to make a big comeback.
