Prince To Release New Song "Baltimore" Via Tidal, Teams With Live Nation For "Rally 4 Peace" Concert - hypebot
There is a long and mixed history of musicians taking stands, writing songs and doing concerts to support causes. But it really is news when the usually reclusive and apolitical Prince pens a new tune and schedules a benefit concert in reaction to the recent unrest in Baltimore.
While we've been foaming at the mouth in the UK over the General Election hype, a much darker story has been unfolding across the pond. I can't believe the blatant corruption and seemingly institutional racism at work in the 21st Century.I haven't heard the song yet, but even though it's not the first time His Royal Badness has done benefit concerts, this is surely a most deserving and righteous cause to rally towards.
