In one of the best music news stories of the year the legendary Lauryn Hill has been released from prison. The ex-Fugees singer was convicted on failure to pay taxes and was sentenced to 3 months behind bars.

What better way for the singer to celebrate her release from prison other than delivering new music to her fans. Releasing today is “Consumerism” which will be featured on her upcoming project Letters From Exile. On the track you will catch Ms. Hill with a machine gun flow as she lyrically schools us on the wrong things in society.

Accompanying the release of “Consumerism” was a message from Lauryn via her Tumblr to give insight on the track:

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 its level.”
