Now, we spend a lot of time here on Code Switch talking about culture and the people who have shaped it.

So when Kai Wright and Manuel Jochi asked if I was game to explore the legacy of Lauryn Hill, one of the greatest hip-hop and R&B artists of all time, on their podcast, Big Lives, I said, heck yeah.

So for some context, Big Lives is a show hosted by Kai and Emanuel.

I'm Emmanuel Jochi.

And on this show, we take a single cultural icon, we break down their legacy with the help of the BBC's vast archive.
