She wanted to get this music out while was incarcerated, as it is a product of the space was in while was going through some of the challenges has been faced with recently.”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 havenโt been able to watch the news too much recently, so Iโm 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 couldnโt imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking itโs level.”- Ms. Lauryn Hill
