Brilliant singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer, and actress Lauryn Hill’s mug shot has emerged and jail time is literally around the corner for the star. The eight time Grammy award winning singer is out on 150,000 bail and is scheduled to appear back in court to be sentenced in November.
The singer shared this statement regarding the matter on her Tumblr page:
“Over-commercialization and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual. I did not deliberately abandon my fans, nor did I deliberately abandon any responsibilities, but I did however put my safety, health and freedom and the freedom, safety and health of my family first over all other material concerns! I also embraced my right to resist a system intentionally opposing my right to whole and integral survival.”
Does jail time mean Lauryn Will come out with new material for her fans? We hope so!

Will ai shape the future of the music industry?
As a fence-sitter who sees both sides of the great AI-in-music debate, I believe that AI should provide the tools to guide music direction–but never take over it.
