Listen: Lauryn Hill’s New Track Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix) {Stream}
Despite of her legal woes, Lauryn Hill introduced a track, “Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix),” to her faithful fans. Lauryn jumped on Tumblr to discuss the track:
Hello All: 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! -MHL
