The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was largely record at Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica, after Lauryn Hill wanted to record somewhere with "good vibes" where she felt like she was among family.
Recording sessions for the album took place from late 1997 to June 1998 mainly at Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, as Hill collaborated with a group of musicians known as New Ark in writing and producing the songs. The bulk of the album, however, was recorded at Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, the studio built by reggae musician Bob Marley. I wanted a place where there was good vibes, where I was among family, and it was Tuff Gong."
