Lauryn Noelle Hill (born May 26, 1975) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She is celebrated as one of the most influential musical artists of her generation. Hill is credited with breaking barriers for female rappers, contributing to the mainstream success of both hip-hop and neo soul, and blending rap with melodic vocals. She has been honored as one of the 50 Great Voices by NPR, and one of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone. In 2015, Billboard named her the greatest female rapper. Among her accolades are eight Grammy Awards—the most for any female rapper. Hill has contributed as a producer and songwriter to projects by Whitney Houston, CeCe Winans, and her son YG Marley, as well as Mary J. Blige's "All That I Can Say" and Aretha Franklin's "A Rose Is Still a Rose", a Top 40 hit that became Franklin's final signature song. She also co-produced Santana's successful album Supernatural (1999), for which she won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Her influence has been recognized with honors including the ASCAP Golden Note Award, the NAACP President's Award,[6] and inductions into the Grammy Hall of Fame (twice), the National Recording Registry, and the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame.
