Additionally, he unveiled a new song “Survival”, an interpolation of Bob Marley’s “Ambush in the Night”, written by YG Marley and his late grandfather, Bob Marley. The new song was produced by Ms. Lauryn Hill, YG Marley, and Johnny G.
Ms. Hill, who was forced to cancel the remaining dates of her Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary tour last year due to doctors’ orders, is gearing up to announce new dates. The tour, described by The New York Times as “an artist — once again, and on tour — rewriting the rules of hip-hop, and American popular music at large. She was not just teaching us how to hear “Miseducation” differently, but showing us what it looks like for a musician to truly evolve and redefine what we call a classic as something brand-new”” will resume this summer.
