Earlier we informed you about this year’s Rock the Bells lineup which is slated to feature hip hop and R&B’s own living legend Lauryn Hill, but today, with the help of our good friends over at HelloBeautiful.com, we were able to put together a special music related birthday package for our girl, Lauryn Hill. We decided to give you guys a chance to join in the celebration today and give you something unique to help you make it over the hump this week.
Of course, Lauryn (aka “L-Boogie”), is one of the most prolific singers in the game, but this multi-talented actress and lyricist is well known for being a founding member of the multi-platinum selling hip hop group The Fugees, where she got her first taste of superstardom. To continue her birthday celebration, we’ve put together some quick stats on Lauryn and included pics plus a few video exclusives.
