Which female rapper released the 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill?

Lauryn Hill released the 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

The album was Hill’s first solo studio release after her success with the Fugees. It blends hip-hop, soul, R&B, reggae, and spoken interludes, with songs such as “Doo Wop (That Thing),” “Ex-Factor,” and “Everything Is Everything.”

Released by Ruffhouse and Columbia Records on August 25, 1998, the album became a major commercial and critical success. At the 41st Grammy Awards, Hill won five awards, including Album of the Year and Best New Artist.

The record is sometimes described as a Fugees album because Hill had been a central member of that group. However, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a solo album, and its title refers to Carter G. Woodson’s 1933 book The Mis-Education of the Negro.
