One third of hip-hop  group The Fugees, Lauryn Hill went solo in 1998 with the her only real album ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’, which has to be one of the best hip-hop albums of the nineties. From that album, this is track is ‘Lost Ones’.

‘The Miseducation..’ featured heavyweights like D’Angelo, Carlos Santana, Mary J. Blige and John Legend. It topped charts around the world, got Lauryn Hill ten nominations at the Grammys (She won five). Columbia records and Lauryn Hill got into a protracted legal battle about the credits for the album. (Credits are really important because they dictate who gets paid how much)

Lauryn Hill pretty much dropped out of the public eye after the media frenzy over ‘Miseducation’ was over. She popped up a few years later and at a live performance ranted against the Catholic Church about the molesting little choir boys controversy.

Despite repeated rumours that she has another album in the works, there is no sign of one..

Crap. If I have to hear another Akon song I’m gonna kill myself.
