Let’s give a shout out to Prince for doing what SO MANY other artists are scared (or can’t) do. Prince is the King of bringing social issues into his music and his new song “Baltimore” doesn’t disappoint. Released on SoundCloud last week right before the Baltimore Peace Rally, Prince evokes the spirit of a young revolutionary with strong, melodic chants of “if there ain’t no justice, then there ain’t no peace.” Entwined with a guitar solo that cries out with a demanding rock cadence throughout the entire 4 minutes and 33 seconds, Prince yet again makes a statement and defiantly stands with the people of Baltimore.

If you missed the broadcast of Prince performing at the Baltimore rally this weekend, you can check out the song below. Prince used his platform on Sunday to raise money for various youth organizations throughout the city of Baltimore. While the music industry and artists yearn to stay relevant, Prince continues to simply walk his own path and prove that the power of music is still awesome!
