Of course, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is celebrated as a timeless classic, and last year, the album was certified diamond by the RIAA. “I think my intention was simply to make something that made my foremothers and forefathers in music and social and political struggle know that someone received what they’d sacrificed to give us, and to let my peers know that we could walk in that truth, proudly and confidently," she said of the album in an interview with Rolling Stone.
As for the always anticipated Roots Picnic, Little Brother, DJ Drama, Busta Rhymes, Lil Uzi Vert, Eve, Kindred & The Family Soul, The Isley Brothers, Ari Lennox, Adam Blackstone and more are also slated to appear at the popular annual festival. Additionally, this year's Picnic will feature a State Property Reunion featuring Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Young Gunz, Peedi Crack, and Oschino and Sparks. Dave Chapelle will also host Friday Night Comedy at Wells Fargo. The Roots Picnic takes place June 2-4 in Philadelphia. Pre-sale tickets will be available starting tomorrow.
