Lauryn Hill and The Fugees Celebrate 25 Years of Miseducation on Tour
By: Joshua Martin
R&B legend and eight-time Grammy award winner Lauryn Hill announced on Tuesday a 17-day tour for her seminal album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Joining her on stage to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the iconic release will be the Fugees, the Hip Hop group she was a part of in the 90s. The group last reunited at the 2023 Roots Picnic in June; this will be the first tour for the Fugees in years. The tour is set to begin in September with the latest date slated for November. The iconic group will hit stadiums and arenas all across the world including Brooklyn’s Barclays, and the KIA Forum in Los Angeles with international stops in Austria and New Zealand.
Her influence on stars in both past and present is undeniable!
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was the first and only solo album the songstress created. In 1999, the album earned 10 Grammy nominations. The “Ex-Factor” singer also won 5 Grammys, including Album of the Year, which was the first time a hip-hop artist won the award. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill shattered the glass ceiling for Black women in the music industry, an environment usually dominated by men. While the R&B soul legend never released a sophomore album, her work has continued to shape culture and music. Her upcoming tour will allow old and new fans to re-experience the influential, history-making album.
