Lauryn Hill(I)
- Music Artist
- Actress
- Composer
Lauryn Hill, a native of South Orange, New Jersey, first came to attention
with the multi-talented Fugees. Their first album, "Blunted On
Reality", went virtually unnoticed by the public; their real
breakthrough came with the sophomore album, "The Score", which featured
"Killing Me Softly". That album stills remains the worldwide
top-selling rap album of all time (17 million units shipped). She
earned two Grammys (Best Rap Album and Best R&B Performance by a duo or
group) in 1996 and gave birth to Zion (alleged father is Bob Marley's son)
before releasing her self-written and self-produced solo album, "The
Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill", which topped Billboard charts the moment
it came out.
