The R&B legend was to be sentenced to prison today after pleading guilty to blowing off her 2005-2007 tax returns ... but the sentencing was moved to May 6 to give Lauryn a chance to repay a chunk of her $968,000 tax debt.
Hill's attorney said the singer recently signed a million-dollar recording deal with Sony ... she was also planning to take out a $650,000 loan to put toward the bill.
Hill faces several years in prison ... but her attorney is hoping for probation.
"Black Rage" was the name of a single that Ms. Hill was thought to be dropping. However, that has not happened as of yet.
