What it is
"Every Ghetto, Every City" is a funk-influenced track on Lauryn Hill's 1998 debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. On it Hill looks back on her childhood in New Jersey. Its sound recalls Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City", and it replays elements of David Axelrod's "Tony Poem" and Steve "Silk" Hurley's "Jack Your Body".
