Sun City Girls' music expanded quickly, mixing cross-cultural influences and sharp instrumental chops, creating a unique sound that left a significant mark on various genres.

From the moment the Fugees shot to fame in the mid-90s, Prakazrel Pras Michel was discounted as an incidental member of the hip-hop superstars. He was the unremarkable New Jersey rhyme spitter by way of Brooklyn who was lucky enough to be a high school classmate of the mesmerizing Lauryn Hill and a cousin to mercurial Wyclef Jean. On the group's breakout album The Score, Michel's eight-bar features were minor contributions, relative to Hill's adroitness as an emcee and balladeer and Jean's compositional polymathy.
