Lauryn Hill finished up her prison sentence, and released a new track for her fans to enjoy. Check out “Consumerism” below. 

L Boogie is spitting that 1993 rap on this track. She also released a statement as to her reasoning for releasing the song:

“Consumerism is part of some material I was trying to finish before I had to come in. We did our best to eek out a mix via verbal and emailed direction, thanks to the crew of surrogate ears on the other side. Letters From Exile is material written from a certain space, in a certain place. I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural paradigm as I saw it. I haven’t been able to watch the news too much recently, so I’m not hip on everything going on. But inspiration of this sort is a kind of news in and of itself, and often times contains an urgency that precedes what happens. I couldn’t imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking it’s level.”

“Consumerism” is currently available via iTunes. Check it out below:
