We explore the incredible legacy of one of Hip Hop's most iconic figures: Ms. Lauryn Hill. Join us as we delve into Hill's journey as a singer, songwriter, and rapper, and examine the unique talent that propelled her to become one of the greatest artists in Hip Hop history.

Together, Arthur "LA" Buckner and Linda Diaz, take a deep dive into Hill's history, from her early days in the Fugees to her groundbreaking solo album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," which continues to inspire and influence artists today. We'll also hear from Nadirah, the founder of The Gumbo, a magazine that celebrates and features women in hip hop, as she discusses the impact Hill has had on the industry and the role she continues to play in empowering women in rap.
