Lauryn Hill and The Fugees are coming to Miami. Here’s how to get tickets

Ready or not. Here they come. You can’t hide.

Lauryn Hill is coming to a city near you.

The Fugees are set to reunite and embark on a multi-city tour in support of the 25th anniversary of Hill’s seminal album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” Miami’s Kaseya Center host the tour’s second to last stop on Dec. 10.

Released in 1998, “Miseducation” transformed the then-23-year-old Hill into a cultural icon. The album is a perennial member of “best of” lists including Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, NPR’s 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women and Pitchfork’s 150 Best Albums of the 1990s. “Miseducation” earned Hill five Grammys, including Album Of the Year, becoming the first hip-hop project to do so. Hill also became the first woman to take home five or more Grammys in a single night. Marked by Hill’s rawness and blend of musical influences from reggae to soul to hip-hop, “Miseducation” is as relevant then as it is today.

“I think the piece as a whole communicates my personality, it is the culmination of my experiences, the sum total of what I had gone through at a certain point in my life,” Hill told The Guardian in 1999 following her Grammy wins. “It might have been a little scary at first because whether I sink or swim, it was all on me. But it was liberating because it was very personal, it allowed me to talk about things that were very Lauryn, that didn’t have anything to do with anyone else.”

Despite the album’s legendary status, “Miseducation” – and more accurately Hill herself – hasn’t been immune to criticism. New Ark, a group of musicians who worked on “Miseducation,” claimed Hill “used their songs and production skills but failed to properly credit them for the work” in a 1998 lawsuit against the “Ex-Factor” artist and Columbia Records. Specifically, New Ark wanted partial writing credit on 13 of the album’s 14 original songs. The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2001 for a reported $5 million, according to the Daily Beast.

After being accused of stealing music in 2018, Hill posted a lengthy response via Medium in which she addressed the 1998 lawsuit.

“’Miseducation’ was the first time I worked with musicians outside of the Fugees [whose] report and working relationship was clear. In an effort to create the same level of comfort, I may not have established the necessary boundaries and may have been more inviting than I should have been,” Hill wrote, later adding “I may have been inclusive, but these are my songs.”

The Fugees, comprised of Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel, is widely considered one of the best ‘90s hip-hop groups, having released two albums – “Blunted on Reality” in 1994 and the critically-acclaimed “The Score” in 1996 – before disbanding prior to the turn of the century. The group most recently reunited over the summer during Hill’s headlining set at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia.
