Although you cannot purchase any new material from Lauryn Hill in your local music store, if you log on to her website music won’t be the only thing you can purchase. On her website www.laurynhill.com you can purchase autographed posters, art prints and a poem titled “Middle Man” Prices for items listed on the site run any where from fifty dollars for a autographed poster to five hundred dollars for a video poster. For fifteen dollars you can purchase a video clip of her performing her new song titled “Social Drugs” on guitar.
The poem “The Middle Man” is actually and excerpt from a book she will be completing at the price of $75.00. On the website an excerpt from the book is listed saying, “If everyone is a product of this society, who will say the things that need to be said, and do the things that need to be done, without compromise? Truth will never start out popular in a world more concerned with marketability than righteousness. It will initially suffer ridicule and even violence — yet ultimately it is undeniable. All of humanity is living in a dream world but suffering real consequences.” There is a strong possibility a new studio album will be released but no official date has been given.
