Ms. Lauryn Hill to Celebrate 25th Anniversary of 'The Miseducation' at D.C. Show

Ms. Lauryn Hill is appearing at a string of festivals in celebration of the 25th anniversary of her landmark album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Now, she's set to deliver a special anniversary performance at Wolf Trap in D.C. on June 9.

As aforementioned, Hill will make festival appearances, including at Mary J. Blige's Strength of a Woman Festival, The Roots Picnic, and the Essence Festival.

Considered among the best albums of all time, The Miseducation both cemented and defined Hill's legacy. Triumphant, mournful, profound, and layered, songs like "Ex-Factor," "Nothing Even Matters" featuring D'Angelo, "When It Hurts So Bad," and "Lost Ones" are still just as fresh today as they were when they were initially released.  

A landmark, deeply influential album, The Miseducation was nominated for 10 Grammys in 1999, and Hill became the first woman to ever be nominated that many times in one year. It also became the first album by a solo female rapper to peak or debut at number one on the Billboard 200 in the US. The album also made Hill the first act to have debuted at number one on both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 with their first entries on each chart.
