According to reports, the singer, who now goes by the full name Ms. Lauryn Hill, was required to release the song as part of her  deal with Sony Music. Reportedly, the record label paid her outstanding tax debt in return for new material.

Here’s what Ms. Hill had to say about the song on her Tumblr page.

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!

– MLH
