Ms. Lauryn Hill Announces ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ 25th Anniversary Tour with The Fugees

Ms. Lauryn Hill is set to embark on a momentous journey, commemorating the 25th anniversary of her iconic debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

As we approach the significant date of Friday, August 25th, this visionary singer-rapper will grace the stage across 17 tour dates, captivating audiences in arenas spanning the globe. The tour will encompass renowned venues like Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Chicago’s United Center, and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, in addition to making waves in Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.

Adding to the allure, a long-awaited reunion awaits fans as The Fugees come together for their first tour in years. This legendary group will join forces with Ms. Lauryn Hill, co-headlining the tour across all US and Canadian dates.

“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. “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.” She continues “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.”

Live Stream- Rich Homie Quan Celebration of Life Funeral Service miixtapechiick

On September 5, Dequantes Devontay Lamar, known to the world as Rich Homie Quan, tragically passed away at the age of 34.

Quan’s father and longtime manager, Corey Lamar, initially planned a small, private service for close family, stating it was important to “begin the healing process.” However, he later reconsidered, saying, “Without the fans, there would be no Quan.”

In honor of Rich Homie Quan’s life and legacy, Fox 5 Atlanta will be live streaming the funeral service at World Changers Church International in College Park.

Rich Homie Quan rose to prominence in 2013 with his breakout single “Type of Way,” which reached number 50 on the US Billboard Hot 100. His mixtape Still Goin’ In (Reloaded) was later named one of the top 10 mixtapes of the year by Rolling Stone. The following year, Quan teamed up with Problem for the hit single “Walk Thru” and joined forces with Birdman’s Rich Gang. Alongside Young Thug, he became part of the group’s success, with their single “Lifestyle,” produced by London On Da Track, earning platinum certification.

Quan later returned to his solo career, releasing his debut album Rich as in Spirit in 2018.
