För en del är framgång mer skrämmande än misslyckande. Framgång begränsar friheten, och kan bli det som dödar. Mamman, aktivisten och sångerskan sa nej till alla orimliga krav och förväntningar, och återvände hem. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Lauryn Hill flög till Detroit med sin nyfödde son och sin mamma 1997. Dagarna i studion med Aretha Franklin resulterade inte bara i drottningens bästa utspel på femton år (”A rose is still a rose”). Aretha delade också med sig av erfarenheter, som historien om hur Jerry Wexler på sin tid fick äran för produktionen trots att Franklin var högst delaktig i processen. Något som Lauryn Hill kände igen från dagarna i Fugees. Även om Wyclef och Pras såg Lauryn som sin jämlike, så betraktade många henne enbart som sångerska och MC, inte som låtskrivare och producent. När Lauryn skulle lämna Detroit gjorde hon på väg till flygplatsen ett besök på Motownmuseet. Det blåvita huset vid West Grand Boulevard där drömmarna för några av hennes idoler förverkligades. Vid sidan om Arethasamarbetet verkade det bidra till kraften och självförtroendet som krävdes för att skapa musik med samma tidlösa kvaliteter som Stevie och Marvin (”The miseducation of Lauryn Hill”). Det här är ett av flera nedslag i en berättelse som bygger på Mats Nileskärs två möten med Lauryn Hill. Han har även intervjuat Wyclef, Pras, John Forte och D'Angelo.
One of the biggest songs of the 90s has a surprising origin with some very surprising originators. But we all know where this episode ends up. Torn, originally by Ednaswap, covered by Natalie Imbruglia. Outro music is Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You (I Love You Baby) by Lauryn Hill, who was in the same grammy race we discuss in the show. It was a heck of a year, no doubt.
So this started as a boom bap kinda mix but then I blended some other stuff in and the parameters got widened. The BPM's float from 85-95 and the vibe goes from Lauryn Hill to classics reinterpreted, blended with demos of songs that became hits and songs that we've yet to get released. Its not turn up, but its not lay down either. Enjoy

Why the Golden Era? What makes it so special? Along with the fashion that has been part of Hip Hop culture from the start was the message, much like reggae shifted from love songs during the Rocksteady era to Roots Reggae in the 70s, where people were trying to unite and bring something more conscious and durable to the recordings. HipHop would repeat this shift 20 years later, from the early 80s with Run DMC, LL Cool J, Doug E. Fresh, and Kurtis Blow to Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Digable Planets, & Public Enemy amongst others - they formed a coalition of unity, consciousness, and empowerment. The Golden Era wasn't just about hits; it was a cultural movement. It set the blueprint for what hip-hop could be: raw yet refined, rebellious but thoughtful. Whether you grew up with these tracks or are just discovering them, this mix is a celebration of the sound and soul of one of music's most influential periods.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Geechi Taylor—musician, educator, and Artistic Director & President of the Young Musicians Choral Orchestra—for a deeply moving and honest conversation about music, mentorship, and the meaning of community.From New York to Berkeley, CA, to sharing stages with Wynton Marsalis and Lauryn Hill, Geechi takes us through the twists and turns of a life shaped by rhythm, resilience, and real love. He shares how a trumpet in middle school opened doors to the world, how rejection fueled his growth, and how a circle of fierce mentors—including his single dad—taught him to lead with heart.But this episode is more than a musical journey—it's a story about showing up for the next generation. Geechi opens up about the joys and heartbreak of guiding young people through a world of distractions, inequity, and untapped brilliance. From teaching rehearsals in a laundry room to saving a student from street life, his commitment runs deep. He also shares how losing his wife shifted his perspective, and how self-care for him sometimes looks like unplugging, breathing in the sun, and walking without headphones.Whether you're an artist, parent, educator, or someone just trying to find your way, this conversation is a reminder of what's possible when we listen, love, and act with intention.

Design Better is brought to you by Wix Studio, the most powerful web design platform for entrepreneurs, agencies, and creative thinkers. Learn more → If you ask any fan of the genre who's pushing jazz into new territory, Kamasi Washington's name will come up—likely at the very top. His 2015 album The Epic won the American Music Prize and stands, in our opinion, as one of the greatest jazz records of the 21st century. Kamasi contributed to Kendrick Lamar's Grammy-winning To Pimp a Butterfly, scored Michelle Obama's Netflix documentary Becoming, and has collaborated with musical legends like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Lauryn Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Chaka Khan, and many more. In this episode, we spent an evening with Kamasi, exploring his creative process, what he's learned from his collaborators, his philosophy on collaboration, and his latest album, Fearless Movement. Zero Gravity, Wayne Shorter documentary on Amazon Prime Kamasi's newest record, Fearless Movement The Epic Kamasi Washington's website Kamasi Washington, born in Los Angeles in 1981, grew up surrounded by music, with a saxophonist father and a flutist mother who nurtured his musical talent from a young age. Kamasi's journey began with drums and piano in his early years, progressing to the clarinet at age seven and finally to the tenor saxophone at twelve, mirroring his father's path. His high school years at Hamilton High School Music Academy were pivotal; there, he joined the renowned Multi School Jazz Band and learned from jazz icons like Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Kamasi's talent was quickly recognized when he won the John Coltrane Saxophone Competition, and he co-founded "The Young Jazz Giants," which marked his early step into professional music. Kamasi's musical evolution continued at UCLA, where he studied ethnomusicology and expanded his understanding of global music traditions. This foundation supported his wide-ranging collaborations beyond jazz, where he worked with artists like Snoop Dogg, Raphael Saadiq, and Kendrick Lamar. Yet, despite his diverse influences, Kamasi remained firmly rooted in jazz, ultimately channeling these experiences into his innovative sound. His 2015 debut album, The Epic, was a monumental release—a three-disc exploration of jazz that introduced a unique blend of spiritual depth and musical complexity. The album garnered critical acclaim, broadening Kamasi's reach and establishing him as a leader in modern jazz. *** This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

What do you get when In the News takes over the whole episode? A disorganized perfection, and we wouldn't have it any other way. This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, Lady P's plan was promptly disregarded like fast-fashion from last season, while the 2025 Met Gala pulled at our heartstrings. With the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," and the dress code "Tailored for You," we perused the blue carpet, and we are here for every bead, button, and bespoke moment! We breakdown the best and most unforgettable looks (and unapologetically fabulous looks) and some that had wondering what happened: Shaboozey made his Met Gala debut in a turquoise wave-patterned suit, matched with turquoise grillz, and a tilted wide brim hat basically saying, "I am the owner of this carpet." Lauryn Hill looking like butter wouldn't melt in her Jude Dontoh suit that included cape, umbrella, and drama worthy collar that gave us chills. Demi Moore, black tie redefined with a beaded ensemble that was an actual necktie. Fashion pun intended and executed completely. And Colman Domingo serving royalty in Valentino and Boucheron layered with sequins, and more texture than a luxury fabric swatch book, to name just a few. If you enjoy a none too serious Met Gala recap with a side of sass and smarts, and tailored suit talk, this episode is custom made for you. Listen in for your weekly dose of style talk.
Peace Community,We all know the verse off of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill's Doo Wop Record, "You Know I Only Say It Cause I'm Truly Genuine.. Don't be a hard rock when you really are a GEM..." that's exactly where the inspiration came from, that song. I wanted to tap into a multitude of topics genuinely and do things slightly different.From Lauryn's inspiration, the magic of intentional meditation, scientific conversation and what's happening across nations. I wanted to have a genuine conversation about these topics; I hope you enjoy it!

In this episode of "Hip Hop What Ifs," hosted by D and 12Kyle, the discussion turns to the question, "What if Lauryn Hill had continued her rap career?" They delve into the impactful yet complex legacy of Lauryn Hill in the hip-hop world. As they explore the trajectory of Hill's career, from her groundbreaking work with the Fugees to her transformative solo album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," listeners are invited to consider how Hill's choices might have reshaped the landscape of female rap. The episode navigates through Lauryn Hill's rise in the music industry, touching on key moments like the Fugees' success with their album "The Score," and Hill's departure from music to focus on personal life. With in-depth analysis, the hosts ponder the potential influence Hill could have wielded in contemporary hip-hop, drawing parallels to artists like Foxy Brown, Lil' Kim, and later figures such as Rapsody. They also entertain the idea of Hill making a comeback and what that would mean in today's musical context. Ultimately, this engaging dialogue highlights Hill's enduring influence and the hypothetical shift she could have sparked in women's rap music.
