The Fugees’ “The Score” + Drake = another Alexei classic!
You heard it here first. Alexei is at it again, this time putting Drake on the Fugees’ classic. Drake rhyming next to Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean? That’s probably as good as it gets, short of a Fugees’ reunion. So spread the word, would you?

DRAKE MASHED UP WITH THE FUGEES 1996 CLASSIC “THE SCORE” ON ALEXEI PRESENTS … DRIZZY SETTLES THE SCORE
Project Celebrates 15 Years Since the Multiplatinum Album’s Release
(March 30, 2011, New York, NY) - Russian-born, New York-based producer and DJ Alexei is proud to announce the release of his latest project, Alexei Presents … Drizzy Settles the Score, a mashup album that pairs Drake with a hip-hop classic, The Score by The Fugees. The mashup marks 15 years since the release of The Score. The album is available for free download at djalexei.com.
On the project, Alexei updates the original Fugees’ album with new verses from Drake, as well as Andre 3000, Lil Wayne, Mos Def, Busta Rhymes, and Q-Tip, while also retaining some of the now-classic verses by Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras.
“The Score is easily my favorite hip-hop album of all time and I still listen to it regularly, often before I sit down to work on my own music,” says Alexei. “To keep it exciting after 15 years, I decided to spice it up a bit. The Score has texture and soul that you don’t find much in today’s production. Put that and Drake together, and you have an incredibly fun listen.”
Alexei, the creative force behind the critically acclaimed hip-hop duo Fly Gypsy, is an accomplished producer and DJ, whose mixtapes have received over 100,000 spins online. His music has been featured on mtvU and VH1 Soul and reached the No. 1 spot on college hip-hop charts. Alexei has shared stage with Cee-Lo, B.o.B., Wale, Wiz Khalifa, Goodie Mob, and Mike Posner and, together with his bandmate, was praised by The Source Magazine for a “galvanizing stage show.”
