Often called “one of the greatest female MCs of all time,” former Fugee emcee Ms. Lauryn Hill celebrated the 15th anniversary of her solo masterpiece The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill behind bars. Recently released, the singer, rapper, humanitarian, producer and actress isn’t letting a short stint in federal prison slow her down.
Shortly after being released, the five-time Grammy winner has already made her comeback into the music world through the release of her latest single titled “Consumerism.” The single was posted on the same day Ms. Hill was released with the statement, “it is a product of the space she was in while she was going through some of the challenges she has been faced with recently.”
In addition to the release of “Consumerism,” Ms. Hill didn’t hesitate to get back on the stage. She announced a brief Homecoming tour, which kicked off in New York City. As a part the Homecoming tour, the five-time Grammy winner stopped by the 9:30 Club in December, and she’s back in DC again on February 9 at the Lincoln Theatre. We happen to have a pair of tickets to give away!
After departing from the Fugees, Ms. Lauryn Hill met great success with her first solo release The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, including two record setting Grammy nominations and wins. Being the first woman to be nominated for ten Grammy awards and the first woman to win five Grammys in one night, Ms. Hill opened doors for women in the music industry and has changed the way female hip-hop/rap artists are viewed.
To win a pair of tickets to Ms. Lauryn Hill’s show at the Lincoln Theatre on Sunday, February 9, drop a comment below naming your favorite girl-power song. I’m gonna go with “Run the World (Girls)” by Beyoncé.
The winner will be chosen a week from today at noon on Thursday, January 30. Tickets are still available.
