We’ve seen a Lauryn Hill resurgence lately, but not because she released new music. Both Drake and Cardi B have sampled her “Ex-Factor” single into buzzing records like “Nice For What” and “Be Careful.” Considering the talk surrounding both, she is paying homage back, at least to the 6 God, and did so live in concert.
Performing at New York City’s legendary Apollo Theater, L-Boogie was performing the original “Ex-Factor” single for fans in attendance and gave them a treat by remixing “Nice for What” by flipping some of the lyrics.
Does this give the possibility of her jumping on an official remix? We’ll have to wait and see. But one thing is for sure, Drizzy is paying attention.
