From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greatest Hits is a compilation released by American hip-hop trio, the Fugees. The album was released on March 25, 2003, by the group's former record label, Columbia Records. The band had long since split at the time of the album's release, although renewed interest sparked them to record a release a single, "Take it Easy", in 2005, the first official release from the trio since 1997.
