Lauryn Hill is continuing the anniversary of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by launching The Celebration Tour alongside The Fugees. The trio will perform songs from The Miseducation and The Score. YG Marley will be a special guest on the tour, which will begin in August in Tampa and wrap up in Amsterdam in October.
Ms. Lauryn Hill and YG Marley were musical guests on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in May. It was the show’s 10th Anniversary Special and YG Marley’s late-night TV debut. On the show, the two performed a medley of Ms. Lauryn Hill’s beloved “Ex-Factor” and YG Marley’s blockbuster single “Praise Jah in the Moonlight,” which has amassed over 1 billion streams since its release last December. Additionally, he unveiled a new song “Survival”, an interpolation of Bob Marley’s “Ambush in the Night”, written by YG Marley and his late grandfather, Bob Marley. The new song was produced by Ms. Lauryn Hill, YG Marley, and Johnny G.
Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums also culminated in the much-anticipated reveal of the top 10 albums of all time, and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill crowned No. 1.
