All great artists tend to be a little crazy—and Ms. Lauryn Hill sure embraced her eccentricity over the past decade. Arguably the grand supreme of '90s hip-hop, and the woman who single-handedly brought her New Jersey rap sound to the world, Hill is only just now slowly remerging into the spotlight. Sure, there was some backlash for live performances laced with odd behavior—but thanks to a record deal with Sony signed last year, we can (hopefully) expect some new music—the contract demands five songs and then an album. 16 years after the release of the game-changing The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Ms. Hill comes to Orange County for a very rare appearance. In early December, be sure to catch Concerning Violence, a documentary about African liberation in the '60s and '70s, to which Ms. Hill lent her spectacular voice as narrator.
