Ready or not, Lauryn Hill is going back on tour!
Hill announced Tuesday that she will be going on a 25-year anniversary tour to celebrate her highly-acclaimed debut album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," which features hits such as "Doo Wop (That Thing)," "Ex-Factor" and "Lost Ones."
The Fugees are co-headlining the special tour.
"'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' is and was a love song to my parents, my family, my people, my musical and cultural forebears, my teachers, my loves, my Creator. I wrote love songs and protest songs— (still love songs) about the subjects and interests that inspired and moved me," the singer and rapper, 48, said in a statement. "I was confident that what inspired me would resonate with an audience that had been led to believe that songs of that kind could only live in the past."
Hill added: "I loved music, I loved people, I truly felt grateful to God for my life, and genuinely blessed to have a platform where I could share wisdom and perspective through music. I felt a charge to challenge the idea that certain kinds of expression and/or certain kinds of people didn’t belong in certain places. I loved showing what could work or happen provided there was imagination, creativity and LOVE leading the way."
The historic project became the first hip-hop record to win album of the year at the Grammys and sold 10 million copies in the U.S. to date, according to RIAA.
How to get Lauryn Hill tickets for tour
Hill's 11-stop tour includes begins in October with dates in Brooklyn, New York, plus Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto and more major North American cities.
Presale tickets are available for Citi card members Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time through the Citi Entertainment program.
General tickets go on sale Friday, Aug. 25, which marks the official 25th anniversary.

Hill's tour along with the Fugees bandmates Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel comes two years after the group's highly anticipated 25th-anniversary tour of their Grammy-winning sophomore album "The Score" was delayed and ultimately canceled after one show in New York City's Pier 17 for Global Citizen Live.
Hill has been on a festival loop, including upcoming shows for Global Citizen Festival and Promiseland Festival. Recently, she surprised fans at the Hip Hop 50 Live concert at Yankee Stadium with a cameo during Nas' set.
Fugees got their start in the early '90s as "a crew of crafty New Jersey MCs:" Hill, Michel and Jean. Originally known as Tranzlator Crew, the group adopted the name Fugees, an abbreviation of "refugees,'' which referenced Michel and Jean’s shared Haitian-immigrant background.
