‘Consumerism’ (which can be streamed at the bottom of this post, as well as on iTunes) apparently represents what was going on in Lauryn Hill’s mind while being locked up for tax evasion; it also represents her impending release from prison. To me, it representing the reality that we may never see Ms. Lauryn create anything close to her debut album……this song is mind-blowingly all over the place as far as her lyricism (the message seems strangely clear, though).
She also left a message about the track, which you can read below.
Available now on iTunes.
“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 it’s level.”
– Ms. Lauryn Hill

Well it is mainly an online campaign to raise awareness and funds for Safe Shores Dc (@SafeShoresDC) this is a children’s advocacy center that helps sexually mistreated kids cope via therapy and art therapy. They also provide new outfits, school supplies, and snacks thanks greatly in part to our donations. Which we will be accepted thru the end of the year.GOALThis is the second year of #SantaCause last year WE raised $5,000 in a 4 month span. This year the goal is $10,000, which is very obtainable with everyone’s cooperation.With already $1,000 in pledges from music artist and sports personnel. An a pledged $2,000 from the #SantaCause staff we are already 1/3 of the way there.DONATIONS:To make a donation simply go to http://www.safeshores.org/ click DONATE NOW then hashtag #SantaCause on the DESIGNATE YOUR DONATION line. Thank you in advance.CHALLENGE:I personally challenge every DMV music artist to donate $100 seeing how this campaign started as an offset to the bad rap and negative, violent connotations associated with music in this area. Especially rap and go-go, news and media outlets have run with stories of clubs being shut down an it would be a beautiful thing to see the same buzz generated behind the great deeds spear headed by the DMV entertainment scene. With friends, family, and the community as a whole following suit.IN CLOSING:This is (Y)our charitable campaign. We need you to buy into because you’re ‘IN’ too and by in, two things come into play. IN-volvement & IN-teraction.. this simply means participation by donating and/or sharing and RT-ing the information about #SantaCause. An I guess we can do ‘EN’ too, so EN-joy able EN-forcement… this is what we call #PositivePeerPressure making sure your friends are with US on this philanthropic mission.Just freestyled this acronym on twitter..S.A.N.T.A. x 2 =S.elfless S.haringA.ttribute A.idingN.ouns N.eededT.o T.urnA.round A.nythingC.A.U.S.E. x 2 =C.oncerned C.itizensA.lways A.lignedU.nder U.nifiedS.ituations S.incerelyE.voking E.nhancement– @Betta_Mo
