Answer 2

Lauryn has been raising her family and working in the studio. She also has been touring as aember of the Fugees.

The Fugees embarked on a European tour from November 30, 2005 through December 20, 2005. The group played Austria, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Italy, France, England, Ireland and Switzerland. The tour received excellent fan reviews. Also, the tour proved the Fugees could function again as a unit.

On February 6, 2006, the Fugees did a special "Reunion Concert" in Hollywood, California, that was offered as a live webcast on the Verizon Wireless website. The Fugees have been featured in numerous Verizon Wireless VCast advertisements in magazines and TV commercials. A new song titled "Foxy" was made available on VCast. Also recently, a third new song has been leaked, unofficially titled "Wannabe," which uses the same hook as the Michael Jackson song "I Wanna Be Where You Are".


Current Projects
Hill is reportedly working on her own album, with some reports of a great quantity and great quality of music. The Wailers are reported to be on the album. John Legend has reportedly recorded two songs with Hill, including a remix of his song So High, which was nominated for a Grammy, and one for his upcoming album. Hill was reportedly wrapping up a project entitled "Khulami Phase" over 2 years ago but nothing is official.

Also, a 2005 summer tour in Europe, and several summer 2006 public rehearsals in California point toward a future solo music career.

Ms. Hill has supposedly completed work on her second studio album. However, online-chat claimed that Columbia, her record label, is refusing to release it. A petition is currently being circulated online by fans, hoping to persuade Columbia to release the album, which Columbia deems not "radio friendly" and fears would not be the same as the commercially successful "The Miseducation". Insiders who claim to have listened to the new album say it is "brilliant", "genius", and a "masterpiece"[citation needed]. On 13 August 06, the LA Times reported that Hill has been leasing space in a 1920s Los Angeles warehouse that has been turned into live-work lofts. [13] It has also ben reported Hill has a home in a hotel suite in Florida along with a studio.

Answer 6

Birth name Lauryn Noel Hill
Website http://www.lauryn-hill.com/

Lauryn Noel Hill (born May 25, 1975 in South Orange, New Jersey), is an eight-time Grammy award winning musician, and record producer. She initially established her reputation as the most visible and vocal member of The Fugees, then continued on to a solo career, releasing The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and the MTV Unplugged No. 2.0.

Since 1996 Hill has been in a relationship with former University of Miami football linebacker Rohan Marley (son of the late reggae music icon Bob Marley). Though she refers to Marley as her husband, it has not been confirmed publicly that they are legally married. According to a October 2003 Rolling Stone Magazine article by Touré, Marley never divorced his first wife, whom he married while a sophomore at the University of Miami. [1] However, in the summer of 2005, Trace magazine interviewed Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley; Marley said none of this was true and that many lies had been written about them [2].
Together they have four children: son Zion David (4 August 1997); daughter Selah Louise (12 September 1998); son Joshua (January 2002) [3] and son John (summer 2003) [4].

She has written songs about her two eldest children Zion and Selah. "To Zion" featured on her first solo effort, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998. "Selah" featured on the "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" soundtrack in 2002 [5].

The Fugees' first album, Blunted On Reality, which featured the songs "Boof Baf", "Nappy Heads" and "Vocab," was much-hyped but fell short of expectations. "Nappy Heads" peaked at #49 on the U.S Hot 100. The album sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

Soon after the album became a global success, Hill and her recording company were sued by Vada Nobles, Rasheem Pugh, Johari Newton and Tejumold Newton, known as New Ark Entertainment, who claimed to have been denied full credit and compensation for their assistance on the album. Initially, Hill fought back and denied what they claimed was creative input. But the matter was settled, and they received an undisclosed amount of money and were given credit for drum programming and a small amount of lyrical, instrumental and production work.

Despite Hill's intentional departure from the media and celebrity, Hill continued to create commercially and critically successful music. Her song Mystery of Iniquity was nominated for a Grammy without promotion or radio airplay and used as an interpolation by hip-hop mega-producer Kanye West for his single All Falls Down (eventually recorded by Syleena Johnson). John Legend, who played piano on Everything is Everything, collaborated with Hill on the Grammy-nominated remix of So High. Talib Kweli (solo emcee and a member of the groups Black Star and Reflection Eternal) dedicated a song entitled Ms. Hill to her, rapping reverently that you give us hope, you give us faith, you're the one . Artists and former collaborators such as Common still include Ms. Hill in their album thank you's and dedications.

In the months and years after the release of her debut album, Hill became increasingly disaffected with the music industry. In the February 2006 issue of Essence magazine, Hill describes this time in her life: "For two or three years I was away from all social interaction. It was a very introspective time because I had to confront my fears and master every demonic thought about inferiority, about insecurity or the fear of being Black, young and gifted in this western culture. It took a considerable amount of courage, faith and risk to gain the confidence to be myself. I had to deal with folks who weren’t happy about that. I was a young woman with an evolved mind who was not afraid of her beauty or her sexuality. For some people that’s uncomfortable. They didn’t understand how female and strong work together. Or young and wise. Or Black and divine." During this time, Hill abandoned celebrity and stopped doing interviews. She stopped watching television and listening to music and explored alternate methods of expressing herself, including creating and writing a considerable amount of music, poetry, screenplays, clothing designs, etc. Hill said:People need to understand that the Lauryn Hill they were exposed to in the beginning was all that was allowed in that arena at that time. There was much more strength, spirit and passion, desire, curiosity, ambition and opinion that was not allowed in a small space designed for consumer mass appeal and dictated by very limited standards. I had to step away when I realized that for the sake of the machine, I was being way too compromised. I felt uncomfortable about having to smile in someone’s face when I really didn’t like them or even know them well enough to like them.

and went on to say;

"I had to fight for an identity that doesn’t fit in one of their boxes. I’m a whole woman. And when I can’t be whole, I have a problem. By the end I was like, “I’ve got to get out of here."

In one of the most momentous reunions in hip-hop history, The Fugees performed on September 18, 2004 at Dave Chappelle's Block Party in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. They headlined a bill that included a star-studded cast of hip hop celebrities. The concert received many positive reviews, most of which praised Hill's breath-taking, nearly a cappella rendition of "Killing Me Softly". The block party was recorded and directed by Michel Gondry and released on March 3, 2006 to movie theatres.

The Fugees also appeared at BET's 2005 Music Awards on June 28, 2005, opening the show with a twelve minute set.
A new album is in the works. One track, "Take It Easy", was leaked online and therefore was released as a single on the Internet on September 27, 2005. It peaked at #40 on the Billboard R&B Chart. However, the track was also met with a muted antipathy, and prompted The Village Voice to say, "Turns out that a Fugees reunion wasn't really what anyone was waiting for; we just wanted Lauryn to start rapping again." [6]

The Fugees embarked on a European tour from November 30, 2005 through December 20, 2005. The group played Austria, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Italy, France, England, Ireland and Switzerland. The tour received excellent fan reviews. Also, the tour proved the Fugees could function again as a unit.

Hawaii's "Bob Fest '07", a celebration of the life and music of Bob Marley, will feature Lauryn Hill. Maui concert will be on Sunday, Febuary 11th 2007 at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. Other performers include PEPPER, DAWN PENN, NUFF SED & more...
