"Hip-Hopera" — Bounty Killer featuring The Fugees

Well supported

From Bounty Killer's My Xperience (1996), released as a single by VP Records in February 1997, pairing him with the Fugees at the height of The Score. Often cited as one of the earliest rap-opera records, and an example of a Jamaican deejay bringing an American group onto his own album rather than appearing as a guest on theirs.
