Lauryn Hill - Then: After the global success of the Fugees she released The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998, a largely auto-biographical and politically charged album that is a reflection of The Mis-education of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson. It was a seminal album for women, defining the role of females in hip hop and also made history when Lauryn went on to become the first female to win 5 Grammy Awards in one night, including best album. During the 00's she began to struggle with public life, falling further and further into extreme spirituality whilst at the same time touring sporadically.

Lauryn Hill - Now: In 2013 Hill served three months in jail after being convicted of tax evasion. However she was released early due to good behaviour and has had her confinement pushed back in order to begin touring. So far she has announced that she will be playing an extensive series of dates on her world tour, including a one-off show at Brixton Academy and a slot at this years Outlook Festival. Also new material could be in the works, a follow up to Mis-education 2.0, which was released in 2002.

Pras Michel - Then: The rapper scored a massive solo hit with 'Ghetto Superstar', an infectiously catchy song featuring the awesome vocals of Mya and ODB. However, subsequent singles failed to live up to the same success. He released his second album, Win, Lose Or Draw in 2005 which did make the Top 40 - but only in FInland. He also made cameos in 1999's Mystery Men and played the lead in 2000 film Turn It Up alongsideJa Rule.

Pras Michel - Now: In 2010 he created Sweet Mickey For Prezidan, a documentary on Haitian musician Michel Martelly, whose election campaign and fight against corruption in the country he heavily supported. In 2012 he featured on Linda Kiraly's 'Untried' but is yet to release any new solo material.

Wyclef Jean - Then: Like Lauryn Hill, Jean was hugely successful immediately after The Fugees disbanded, going on to score Top 10 hits with songs from 1997's The Carnival featuring Refugee All Stars, The Eclectic: 2 Sides of a Book and Masquerade. He appeared on Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie' in 2006 and also launched a career in TV and film, appearing in One Last Thing..., Shottas and Third Watch.

Wyclef Jean - Now: Ever since the 00's Jean has become more and more involved in Haitian politics, eventually choosing to run for president during the country's 2010 election. However his bid was thrown out after his length of residency in the country was brought into dispute. In the same year he also released tenth studio album If I Were President: My Haitian Experience and is currently working on new album The Carnival Returns, a follow up to the '97 album. At the same time he has appeared on US TV show The Apprentice and in drama Nashville as the head of a record label.
