Lauryn Hill

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&BHip hopHouse

Lauryn Hill is a Contemporary R&B and Hip hop act. Their catalogue also touches House and Reggae. Their sound grew out of Maxwell, Celia Cruz, Gary Powell, Earl "Chinna" Smith and Al Anderson. Those roots explain a lot about how Lauryn Hill arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Erykah Badu, OutKast, Mary J. Blige, D'Angelo and Jill Scott, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Young Miko, Elle Varner, Olivia Dean, Brent Faiyaz and Omar Apollo, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 194 connections around Lauryn Hill, reaching back through Maxwell and forward to Young Miko.
