Lauryn Hill To Perform Seven Shows Before House Arrest

South Orange native and Columbia High School graduate Lauryn Hill will be performing seven shows before beginning her house arrest on New Year's Day.

Hill, the Grammy-award winning singer , was sentenced to three months in prison in May for not paying taxes on more than $2.3 million in earnings over a five year period.

A judge granted Hill permission to postpone her three-month house arrest until New Year's Day.

To mark her release from prison, the eight-time Grammy winner released a new single called “Consumerism," according to Rolling Stone Magazine.

“Hill speed-raps through a laundry list of societal ills over a chaotic rhythm that's more Death Grips than 'Killing Me Softly,'” the article states. “Her pointed voice brutally targets 'corporate greed in Jesus’ name,' decrying ageism, sexism, racism, fascism, 'compromised commercialism' and 'neo-McCarthyism.'”

Hill's “Homecoming” tour will start the day before Thanksgiving, Nov. 27 in New York and run until Dec. 28. Hill will stop in New York, Washington D.C., Boston, Red Bank, NJ, Huntington, NY and Port Chester, NY.

According to her website, her shows include:

• Nov 27, The Bowery Ballroom (Early Show), New York, NY
• Nov 27, The Bowery Ballroom (Late Show), New York, NY
• Dec 15, 9:30 Club, Washington, D.C.
• Dec 18, Royale, Boston, MA
• Dec 22, Count Basie Theatre, Red Bank, NJ
• Dec 26, The Paramount, Huntington, NY
• Dec 28, The Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY
