MIXTAPE MONDAYS: "Best Of Lauryn Hill"

This week's entry for "Mixtape Mondays" is a 2 disc masterpiece from my boy DJ J.Period entitled "The Best of Lauryn Hill". It was one of the "Top Mixtapes of 2005" on MTV and it was featured in XXL, The Source and Fader Magazine. I had this cd playing in the car one day and my friend's 10 year old daughter asked me who the artist was? Having never heard of Lauryn Hill or The Fugees, I forcefully lent the lil girl the double disc CD and in less than a week, I had shorty singing the words to almost every song on L-Boogie's musical catalogue. Thank you J.Period for making amazing mixtapes like these that reach everyone from old New Yorkers like me to lil' 10 year old girls from Las Vegas.
