Lauryn Hill Tears Up Fallon with Bob Marley Covers
I, like many, have been very disappointed in the career choices Lauryn Hill has made over the past decade or so.

With memories of “Best of Both Worlds” in my head, I wasn’t even going to purchase “Distant Relatives”, the album that teams veteran rapper Nas with the son of the late Bob Marley, Damian, also known as “Jr. Gong”. It wasn’t […]
