NEWS: Lauryn Hill Sentenced To Three Months In Prison For Tax Evasion
On Monday, Lauryn Hill was sentenced in Newark to three months in prison for failing to pay taxes on roughly $1 million. The decision comes about even after apparently paying more than $970,000 to state and federal tax liabilities which was stated by her attorney. According to the judge two weeks ago, Hill has only paid $50,000. However, it would appear that whatever the actual amount may be it wasn’t enough to keep her out of prison.
The former Fugee artist explained to the judge that her prolonged absence from the music industry prevented her from paying what was owed in full but that her time away was necessary in order to properly raise her six children. Following her time three month sentence, Hill will also have to serve out an additional three months in home confinement. The Grammy-winning artist must turn her self in by July 8 to authorities.

VIDEO: Rakim Interview at Red Bull Music Academy
This is tight. Take a look at this recent interview Rakim had with journalist Jeff Mao at the Red Bull Music Academy. I enjoyed this sit down.
Hip hop’s golden age began in 1986, the day Rakim stepped to a microphone to record “Eric B Is President.” Only 18 years old (though he sounded considerably more worldly), Rakim (real name William Griffin) had a smooth, effortless flow that brought a cool melodicism and high intelligence to the MC game—he gave both fire and ice, set within the wiry frame of his serious features. Even those who didn’t get the Five Percenter reference wouldn’t have bridled at his nickname, God. His partnership with his DJ, Eric B, yielded four great albums and numerous classic singles before Rakim split for a solo career. Despite initial success with 1997’s The 18th Letter, he endured several frustratingly fruitless years signed to Dr Dre’s Aftermath, working on an album that never came. Now Rakim back in his native New York, the city where his immense influence is most clearly audible, notably in other NYC wordsmiths such as Nas. As recently as 2012, The Source named him the greatest MC of all time.
