Lauryn Hill | Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)

Lauryn Hill was rushed to release this new material. I have mixed feelings about it. Give the song a listen.

Hill recently wrote on her Tumblr page to give the meaning for her single.

“Neurotic Society is a song about people not being, or not being able to be, who and what they truly are, due to the current social construct. I am not targeting any particular group of people, but rather targeting everyone in our society who hides behind neurotic behavior, rather than deal with it.

The world we live in now is, in many ways, an abhorrent distortion, an accumulation of generations and generations of response to negative stimuli. Many don’t even have a concept of what normal is, by virtue of having lived afraid, ashamed, as victims of abuse, or inadequately handled for so long. I believe in coming up from under that fear and allowing the psyche/soul to truly heal. I understand that healing is a process, but I also believe that it is our responsibility to seriously care for ourselves, so that we can extend that level of concern for others and positively affect our environment.

I want what is best for Humanity. Humanity, aligned with the Spiritual principles, that help each individual conquer fear, and transcend limited circumstance. I believe in healing and dealing with the traumatizing events of our lives, both in this lifetime, as well as those passed down to us, or inherited, so we can live as fully as possible.

The whole world suffers from a lack of honest dialogue. Character and integrity have suffered at the hands of political correctness and corporate agenda, while our society moves further and further towards unhealthiness and breakdown. I oppose these trends.

Everyone has a right to their own beliefs. Although I do not necessarily agree with what everyone says or does, I do believe in everyone’s right to protest.

The overarching message of my music is to get up and stop compromising! And hopefully it will stimulate and motivate the changes that our society needs.

Artists are constantly under media and public scrutiny. This is not a one-way street. Those of us with the charge of putting out faithful vibrations, have a responsibility to report what we see, and to write about what we know. I have seen some of the best and also some of the worst representations of human behavior. The same way that I exalt that which is high, is the same way I expose that which is abusive, in order to motivate and remind if not all of us, than as many as possible, of the Higher Calling.”

YOUTUBERS TO KNOW
Rudy Currence - Nothing Even Matters (Feat. Meelah, lead singer of 702)(Lauryn Hill Cover)

Alright ya’ll,it’s been a while since I did the Youtubers to Know segment and boy did I find a artist who can SANG his ass off. I recently just stumbled upon his video and was amazed by his soulful and gospel voice. Probably the best cover of this song I have seen, not to mention he has the former lead singer of 702 singing with him!!

“The time has indeed come for the world to meet Mike Chek Ent., DTP, Island Def Jam Recording Artist Rudy Currence. Emerging with a brand new sound, look, and feel, expect nothing less than greatness from this rising young star. Currence, a young singer-songwriter, musician, and producer began to sign his signature on the world at an early age with such writing credits as songs for multi-platinum recording artist Mya, a song featured in the blockbuster hit movie “The Bourne Identity” starring Matt Damon and a song titled “Let’s Play House” for national recording artist Ray J on his album, “Raydiation.” He has been honored as one of the recipients of the ASCAP writer’s award and received this award in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Rudy released several projects including two very successful indie CD’s “More Than You’ll Ever Know” and “Here With You,” as well as a Christmas EP “Last Christmas,” all available now on iTunes. Rudy made his national television debut last year performing on ABC’s “The View” for Quincy Jones’ latest single “Bossa Nostra” also featuring Ludacris and Naturally 7. He also performed his song “Zion” live on BET’s 106 and Park.”

Rudy’s new single, “THE O.T.H.E.R.”, produced by DJ Don Cannon is now available for download. It definitely gives the listener a glimpse of what’s to come… The forthcoming mixtape titled “DIGITAL ANALOG” is slated for release on 11.22.11. Speaking about his new music Currence adds “I’m really excited. I haven’t released an entire project in a while and this is the perfect time to reinvent myself.” The new mixtape is essentially the best of both worlds. Currence combines the futuristic sounds and innovative elements of “Electronic” music and fuses them with the live instrumentation and ” raw feel goodness” of classic “Soul” music.” (Taken from Offical Website)
