Lauryn Hill wasted no time releasing music!
We can thank Uncle Sam for giving Lauryn Hill a huge bill, because it forced her to sign a record deal and release new music!
The former Fugees start explained the circumstances via her Tumblr page, while sharing the song.
Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline. I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there. In light of Wednesday’s tragic loss (of former label mate Chris Kelly), I am even more pressed to YELL this to a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today’s unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked!

The “impending legal deadline” is her sentencing tomorrow, after pleading guilty to tax evasion. She owed the IRS a whole heap of money, and used the advance from her new record deal to pay it off, hoping to escape jail time.
Ms. Hill is definitely in L Boogie mode, spitting that real ish. Check it out below:
