Lauryn Hill’s Tumblr account was updated with new music and a message from the rapper/actress/singer.  As you know, L Boogie has been incarcerated for the last 3 months due to tax evasion. On the eve of her release from prison, 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
