Lauryn Hill: The Miseducation, The Fugees and Her Enduring Legacy

Lauryn Hill is a generational voice, a cultural lightning rod, and one of music’s biggest what-ifs. This time, we're joined by NPR’s Code Switch host B.A. Parker to unpack the meteoric rise of the Fugees frontwoman, Lauryn Hill, and the intense pressures that pushed one of hip-hop and R&B's brightest stars out of the spotlight. From Grammy-winning highs to the questions that still surround her, we explore why Lauryn Hill's influence continues to shape hip-hop, soul, and pop today.
