Ms. Lauryn Hill is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the influential debut record “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” embarking on a North American tour that will stop at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on Nov. 5.
Additionally, Hill’s former bandmates, Fugees, will reunite as they co-headline the 17-date tour. The trio originally announced a world tour in 2021 but that trek was canceled.
“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,” Hill said in a press release for the tour. “I wrote love songs and protest songs — (still love songs) about the subjects and interests that inspired and moved me. I was confident that what inspired me would resonate with an audience that had been led to believe that songs of that kind could only live in the past.”
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 25 at ticketmaster.com. A pre-sale for Citi cardmembers will begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23 at citientertainment.com.
Hill’s debut record has stood as one of the most influential R&B records of the ’90s; it was also the first hip-hop album to receive the Grammy Award for Album of The Year and walked away with four additional trophies. She’s only released one album since, “MTV Unplugged,” in 2001. Hill has made a few recent appearances in honor of the record turning 25 this year, stopping at Hip-Hop 50 Live at Yankee Stadium in New York as a surprise guest during Nas’ set.
