Prakazrel "Pras" Michel is a critically acclaimed American rapper, record producer, and actor, best known for his membership in the influential hip-hop group The Fugees alongside Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill. Born on October 19, 1972, in Brooklyn, New York, Pras cultivated a passionate interest in music from an early age, which led him to form The Fugees in the early 1990s. Their second album, "The Score" (1996), was a massive success, blending hip-hop with soulful melodies and conscious lyrics, and it solidified the group's position in the annals of hip-hop greatness.
Following The Fugees' rise to stardom and eventual hiatus, Pras embarked on a solo career, achieving significant success with his 1998 debut, "Ghetto Supastar," which featured the hit title track. He continued to push his musical boundaries, as evidenced by his more recent releases such as "Flicker 2.0" and "Wave Culture" that showcase his versatility and ability to adapt to the evolving music landscape. In addition to music, Pras has made appearances in film and television, demonstrating a multi-faceted talent that extends beyond the studio and stage. His track "Lajan" ties back to his Haitian roots (the word "lajan" means "money" in Haitian Creole), underlining his knack for infusing his heritage into his music. Always evolving, Pras has remained a relevant figure in the industry, with remixes of past hits like "What'cha Wanna Do" and steady releases that connect with a diverse global audience.
