Lauryn Hill Releases 'Black Rage' Amid Ferguson Protests
Lauryn Hill Vents ‘Black Rage’ For Ferguson Protests [NEW MUSIC]
The unrest in Ferguson, Mo., has caused a few musicians to channel their frustrations into new music. Lauryn Hill is the latest star to vent about the shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown.
Hill previewed the song “Black Rage,” during the “Life Is Good/Black Rage” tour with co-headliner Nas in 2012. The “Ex-Factor” singer took the holiday classic “My Favorite Things” and flipped it into a statement about race, hatred and misery.
