Due to the internal problems of the record company, the album was not published until 1993, but the circulation and response were not great. The second album, The Score, which really made them famous, was published on 1996, and the sales volume reached17 million, making it the best-selling rap album in history and making Fugees the most popular rap band in history.

The first solo album "Wrong Education in Lauryn Hill" was published in 1998. She is a singer, composer and producer. As for the strange album title, Hill suggested that everyone should not take it out of context too literally. She explained: "The concept of' wrong education' does not completely mean' dropping out of school'. For me, it means that what you learn outside school is outside the' formality' and' obligation' defined by society. I respect the orthodox university education, but I think there are many things worth learning outside the classroom. That is the only process for us to leave the ideal utopia and enter the adult world. "
The music of this album is a combination of rap and rhythm and blues. Hill toured the whole album with his songs with great general demeanor and rich emotional appeal, injected warm and emotional voice into the whole album, and showed his works with rich recording knowledge, which shows that Lauryn Hill is a competent producer. In the album, she recorded her multifaceted life with exquisite skills. The whole album not only has room for discussion, but also gives a strong, frank and intelligent expression, and at the same time develops a balanced space with exquisite and sensitive skills. "I am very close to every song," Hill said of the songs in the album in her mother's voice. "Whenever I feel hurt, whenever I feel depressed, whenever I learn more, I will write these thoughts into the song. But among these songs, the one that touched me most was the one about my son. Joy of My World recorded some pains I experienced in Zeon. This is my human nature. I used to wonder why this matter became my own decision. However, some things that seem to show only the dark side at first will eventually become the brightest and most important things in my life. "
The first album was regarded by all circles as a rare and wonderful album on the market in 1998. It not only made the annual album recommendation list of all magazines, but also made it to the top of Billboard magazine together with the first single Doo Wop (that thing) selected from the album, and dominated the American bulletin board for 265,438+0 weeks, becoming the 24th in the annual album list of the United States, with only a quarter of the single sold.
