There are albums that define a moment. Then there are albums that define a standard. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is the latter.
Released in August of 1998, Lauryn Hill's debut solo record arrived and immediately rewrote the rules of what a hip-hop album could be, blending R&B, soul, reggae, and raw lyricism into something that had no predecessor and has had no true successor. It was nominated for 10 Grammy Awards and won five, including Album of the Year, making Hill the first rapper in history to take that prize. It has sold over 19 million copies worldwide and holds RIAA Diamond certification.
This is a vinyl LP pressing of one of the most important records ever made.
