Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Noelle Hill is an African American singer songwriter, record producer and actress.

At a very young age she began performing in theatres example Harlem Apollo Theatre by the age of 13 soon after she created a band with two other friends later on known as the Fugees. Instead of following her dreams she enrolled to Columbia University in 1993 she studied there for just about year before following her dreams of being an influential artist. The Fugees released their first debut album “blunted on reality” 1994, The reviews and the selling of this album was not too great, but later on in 1996 they would release their second album called “The Score” which became a huge success and one of the well-known Hip Hop albums from the 90s.
Lauryn Hill's first solo project the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 1998 made her known name around America and globally. The album was recorded in Jamaica and also sold 19 million copies worldwide. This album was awarded many Grammys 3 American music awards, Billboard awards, soul train awards and the MTV music awards.

But unfortunately at the end of 1998 Hill feud against new ark who worked on the album with her for failing to give him credit in the album. After a while Lauryn disappeared from the limelight as she said Essence, “for a period of time I had to step away entirely.”
