Released in August 1998, “Miseducation,” a rap/sung hybrid, became a phenomenon on the strength of the singles “Doo Wop (That Thing)” and “Everything is Everything.” It won five Grammy Awards in 1999, including Album of the Year.

“‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ is and was a love song to my parents, my family, my people, my musical and cultural forebears, my teachers, my loves, my Creator,” said Hill in a statement released Tuesday. “I loved music, I loved people, I truly felt grateful to God for my life, and genuinely blessed to have a platform where I could share wisdom and perspective through music. I felt a charge to challenge the idea that certain kinds of expression and/or certain kinds of people didn’t belong in certain places. I loved showing what could work or happen provided there was imagination, creativity and love leading the way.”

Hill headlined the recent Roots Picnic festival in Philadelphia, and fellow Fugees members Wyclef Jean and Pras joimed her on stage, reuniting as the Fugees for the first time since 2021.

In 2021, the Fugees announced reunion tour, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the group's landmark album “The Score,” that included a date at the Prudential Center, but the tour was canceled due to safety concerns over the “continued Covid pandemic,” according to a group statement.

Member Pras was recently found guilty of 10 criminal counts in federal court in a plot to help China influence U.S. government officials. The counts include conspiracy to defraud the US, witness tampering, and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

Hill also has performances scheduled Sept. 8 in Minneapolis, Sept. 23 at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City, and in Australia and New Zealand.
