MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 is a live album by American singer Lauryn Hill. It was released on May 7, 2002, by Columbia Records. The performance was recorded on July 21, 2001, at MTV Studios in Times Square and directed by Alex Coletti for the television series MTV Unplugged. Hill played a set of previously unreleased, newly written acoustic songs and a cover of Bob Marley's "So Much Things to Say" performing without a band, while playing guitar and pregnant with her third child, YG Marley. It was produced by both Hill and Coletti. Its lyrics center on themes of religion, personal growth, mental health, and abuse of authority, alongside spoken interludes. Songs such as "I Find It Hard to Say", written in response to the 1999 police killing of Amadou Diallo, and "Mystery of Iniquity", address police brutality and inequality in the justice system, while "I Gotta Find Peace of Mind" depicts a search for inner peace. Upon release, the album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 122,000 copies, marking the highest debut for an Unplugged release by a female artist until Alicia Keys' Unplugged.
