Lauryn has a sixth child, but not with Rohan. When she got pregnant with their eldest son Zion, so many people were telling her to get an abortion so it wouldn't "ruin her career". She followed her heart and decided to keep her baby. During this time she was working on her first solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The fourth track of this album is called "To Zion" which she started writing to her son when she was still pregnant with him. ]]> 2017-12-07 23:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/harper_smith_13/89zliso14zek/wish/214354925 harper_smith_13 https://padlet.com/harper_smith_13/89zliso14zek/wish/214357321 2017-12-07 23:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/harper_smith_13/89zliso14zek/wish/214357321 harper_smith_13 https://padlet.com/harper_smith_13/89zliso14zek/wish/214358404 Lauryn officially changed the game for females in hip-hop and R&B music. She is known for sharing her story/ struggles through her lyrics and because of her courage to do so, others have followed. Some people consider her "too raw" but thats what makes her lyrics so powerful because they are so real. Her music is the perfect mix between singing and rapping and that style has been influential to several artist today such as Adele, Beyonce, and Kanye West just to name a few. ]]> 2017-12-07 23:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/harper_smith_13/89zliso14zek/wish/214358404 harper_smith_13 https://padlet.com/harper_smith_13/89zliso14zek/wish/214360446 Lauryn was born into a middle-class family and music played a big roll in her life from a young age. In high school, she started a group with her peers called the 'Tranzlator Crew'. Her music has always been "raw and unfiltered"  and it's important to her to keep it that way. ]]> 2017-12-08 00:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/harper_smith_13/89zliso14zek/wish/214360446 harper_smith_13 https://padlet.com/harper_smith_13/89zliso14zek/wish/214362030 2017-12-08 00:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/harper_smith_13/89zliso14zek/wish/214362030
