The Evolution of Lauryn Hill

After the group disbanded, Hill started working on her solo studio album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Released in August 1998, the record became an instant hit, debuting at the top of the Billboard 200 chart and breaking the first-week sales record for a female artist. The album was beloved by all and included many classic songs including, “Lost Ones, “Everything is Everything,” “Ex-Factor,” and “Doo Wop (That Thing).” While the record included many hip-hop influences, it was largely an R&B and Neo soul album. Her first and only solo studio album has since been certified diamond by the RIAA.
