Lauryn Hill Thanks DJ Khaled for Sampling “Fu-Gee-La” On “Nas Album Done”

DJ Khaled’s brand new No. 1 album Major Key includes a collaboration with Nas called “Nas Album Done.” The song utilises a sample from the Fugees’ 1996 classic “Fu-Gee-La,” and this didn’t go unnoticed by key group member Lauryn Hill, who shared a note personally thanking Khaled for “blessing up the chune.” She also addressed an open message that Khaled posted on Instagram last week, congratulating him on the arrival of his new child and blessing his family for the future ahead. Check out both letters below.

#letterTOtheFugees I remember the 1st time I heard the angelic voice of Lauryn Hill singing Ooooh La La La…It was like a voice from heaven. Alongside the genius musician/artist Wyclef and Pras they formed the iconic and one of my favorite groups The Fugees. The Fugees pushed the culture forward and was an inspiration to me as a fan of great music and an inspiration to this day. Dj Khaled feat @nas title of the song is (Nas Album Done! )Just the title alone let's you know it's serious!! And trust me it's serious!!! So I'd like to extend my tremendous appreciation to The Fugees for giving me their blessing with Fu gee La.
