With The Fugees band, she was the Queen over the hip-hop scene of the 90s. The album, <i>Blunted On Reality<\/i> paved the way for the band\u2019s career, selling over 4 million copies. In 1996, their album, <i>The Score<\/i> hit the shelves to remain until now the best-selling rap album in the United States, with 18 million copies, not to mention the legendary cover version of <i>Killing Me Softly<\/i> (1973) by Roberta Flack.<\/p>\n<p>In 1993, though only aged 18, Lauryn Hill outshined the whole cast of the cult film, Sister Act II, offering one of her best interpretations.<\/p>\n<p>In 1998, she released her first solo album, <i>The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill<\/i>. The album sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. In the 1999 Grammy Awards, out of 12 nominations, Lauryn won five awards in the R &amp; B categories, including the album and the song of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Lauryn Hill takes a more spiritual path, focusing more on the message of her songs rather than their musical medium, the purpose being to bring a slice of reality more consistent with her fans, as illustrated in her 2001 album <i>MTV Unplugged 2.0<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, to celebrate Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill unveils an elegant and faithful cover version of the former\u2019s songs as part of a documentary devoted to the legendary singer. She also chooses to sing five other titles from the giant soul music singer in the album, <i>Nina Revisited: A tribute to Nina Simone.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Today as a singer, composer and actress, she prefers to keep a low profile, rarely appearing on the stage. Expect a golden voice and an exceptional artist for a memorable concert in Rabat.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queen of hip hop and soul, Ms Lauryn Hill will perform on Monday, May 15th at the OLM Souissi Rabat, tuesday, February 28th, 2017 &#8211; Mawazine festival treats the Moroccan public to an exceptional show, starring the pioneer of American hip-hop: Ms Lauryn Hill.
