The trio released their first LP, Blunted on Reality that spawned two underground hits “Nappy Heads” (Mona Lisa) and “Vocab”, but the album failed to live up the expectations of fans who attended their concerts. Hill and Jean each went on to successful solo recording careers, while Michel focused mainly on soundtrack recordings and acting.
Deriving their name from the term “refugee”, the group is noted for the integration of soul and reggae into their work, and recorded two albums - one of which, The Score, was a multi-platinum and Grammy-winning success - before going their separate ways after 1997. Jean and Michel are of Haitian heritage, while Hill is from South Orange, New Jersey. The members of the group are leader/rapper/singer/producer Wyclef Jean, rapper/singer Lauryn Hill, and rapper Pras Michel. What I’ve learned is that picking music for the show can be a big sacrifice: sometimes you’re gonna lose your love for that song.Fugges are a critically acclaimed music band from the United States, popular during the mid-1990s, whose repertoire includes primarily hip hop, with elements of soul, and Caribbean music (particularly reggae).

The trouble is, when you create a TV show, you have to watch every episode over and over again, so I’ve heard this track more than anyone in the world’s had hot dinners. We actually used it in a gypsy fight scene because I wanted a juxtaposition between what you were seeing – this awful violence being dished out – and the magical sound of Perfume Genius. He started the gig off with this song and it was this explosion of sound I just knew I had to use it in Brassic. I went to see him live in Manchester and honestly, he was absolutely phenomenal. “I only discovered this recently and it’s absolutely fucking sick. I’ve been doing it around the flat – you know that ridiculous talking he does? I’ve been making myself laugh with it, so this is the song I’ve had in my head during the corona bullshit.” “I listen to music all day on shuffle and this keeps coming on. But if I absolutely had to, I’d do this song because he speaks it all – it’s a piece of piss, so I wouldn’t make a massive cunt of myself.” “One of my golden rules is not to do karaoke. When I listen to him, I’m just like ‘fuck me, I get it.’ But I can’t listen to him too much because it always fucks me up.” “To be honest, there’s a few Elliott Smith songs that I wish I’d had the sense to write. I think Sun Kil Moon is a very unusual artist and I’ve got a lot of time for him, but I don’t like how he puts other musicians on blast – you know how he gets up on stage and slags everyone off? I think he’s a bit of a cock hole for that.” It’s a song about all kinds of shit it’s a song about everything, really. When I would go to America for a job for like six months at a time, I’d listen to this song a lot. And now that I’m older, I do find I like doing things my dad did. “He’s singing about his dad – I like old movies with Clark Gable, just like my dad does.
