Lauryn Hill was born in South Orange, New Jersey, on May 26, 1975. In 1998 Lauryn hills the miseducation of lauryn hill was released on august 25 1998, by ruffhouse records and Columbia records. Recording sessions for the album took place from late 1997 to June 1998m and were held primarily at Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica. The album's lyrics deal with Hill's pregnancy at the time, the turmoil in her former group the Fugees, themes of love, and God. A neo soul album, its music incorporates R&B, hip-hop, soul, and reggae. The album's title was inspired by the film and autobiographical novel "The Education of Sonny Carson", and Carter G. Woodson's "The Mis-Education of the Negro".

Upon Releasing her solo debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was nominated for 10 Grammy's. Lauryn Hill became the first woman or hip-hop artist to win five Grammy Awards—for album of the year, best new artist, best female R&B performance, best R&B song and best R&B album. 

This Album remains her only studio album and some suggesting it was the greatest neo-soul album of all time. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and sold 19 million copies worldwide, spawning the singles "Doo Wop (That Thing)", "Ex-Factor", and "Everything Is Everything. 

We can credit Lauryn Hills The miseducation of lauyrn Hill with shaping and raising the neo soul movement to commercial visibility into the late 1990s. The miseducation was an important Milestone of neo soul.

In a 1998 article on neo soul, Time journalist Christopher John Farley wrote that neo soul artists such as Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, and Maxwell "share a willingness to challenge musical orthodoxy". 

Along with Erykah Badu's 1997 debut Baduizm, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was also an important release in bringing neo soul to the forefront of popular music. It became the genre's most critically acclaimed and popular album. According to the Encyclopedia of African American Music (2010), "the record is filled with live musicians and layered harmonies, and therefore it is a trendsetting record that connects modern hip hop, R & B, and classic soul music together, creating groundwork for what followed it in the neo soul genre
Due to the large success of the album, Hill became a national media icon, as magazines ranging from Time to Esquire to Teen People vied to place her on their front covers. In a February 8, 1999 Time cover-story, Hill was credited for helping fully assimilate hip-hop into mainstream music, making her the first hip hop artist to ever appear on the magazine's front covering 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill number 313 on their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Jon, writing in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), called it "as earnest, unpretentious, and pleasantly sloppy an album as any woman of the hip-hop generation has ever made", and said that, by appealing to a wide spectrum of listeners with hip hop filtered through a "womanist lens", the album propelled Hill to superstardom "of epic proportions" and "the focal point at hip-hop's crossover into the mainstream."   Music journalist Peter Shapiro cited it as "the ultimate cross-over album of the hip-hop era."[77]
The Miseducation has been ranked in numerous best-album lists by critics. Reviewers frequently praised it for Hill's honest presentation of a female's view on life and love
