Lauryn Hill, a native of South Orange, New Jersey, first came to the glory with the multitalented "Fugees". The first album, "Blunted On Reality" went unnoticed by the wide public; the real break-through came with the sophomore album, "The Score", that featured "Killing Me Softly". That album stills stays the worldwide top-selling rap album of all times (17 million units shipped).
