Oh Snap! Lauryn Hill Breaks Her Silence And Speaks On Her Record Deal, Tax Evasion And New Music!! -- Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Hill has spoken her part. Following a day full of headlines that stated Lauryn Hill was escaping jail time by signing a $1 Million record deal with Sony Records, Lauryn Hill fought fire with fire by taking to her own blog to set records straight about what exactly is going on in her pockets and in her personal life.
In her ever-so-eloquent manner with words, Lauryn wrote on her mslaurynhill Tumblr page: It has been reported that I signed a new record deal, and that I did this to pay taxes. Yes, I have recently entered into an agreement with Sony Worldwide Entertainment, to launch a new label, on which my new music will be released. And yes, I am working on new music.
I’ve remained silent, after an extensive healing process. This has been a 10+ year battle, for a long time played out behind closed doors, but now in front of the public eye. This is an old conflict between art and commerce… free minds, and minds that are perhaps overly tethered to structure. This is about inequity, and the resulting disenfranchisement caused by it.
