To celebrate the end of her three-month prison sentence due to tax evasion, Ms. Lauryn Hill decides to treat her loyal fans to some material that was created earlier this year. Aiming to portray the specific space she was in before her incarceration, her most recent effort with “Consumerism” will be included on her next upcoming Letters From Exile project, with the track differing from past work by the way of its aggressive nature and the pace of lyricism. The chorus wasn’t too bad Lauryn, but we’ll let the listeners decide the rest.
Take a look at a trademark letter from Lauryn after the jump.

“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.” Ms. Lauryn Hill
