Lauryn Hill leaves jail on Friday after serving three months behind bars for tax evasion.
The singer, who expressed her gratitude to fans in a letter from prison over the summer, is commemorating her release with a new song called “Consumerism.”

Hill’s track features her speeding through a rap on cultural ills.
In a message on her Tumblr page, the performer explains:
“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.”
