Lauryn Hill releases new single to mark her release from prison after serving three-month sentence for tax evasion

Lauryn Hill marked her scheduled release from federal prison on tax evasion charges on Friday by releasing a new single.

The 38-year-old former singer for the Fugees in July started serving a three-month sentence after pleading guilty to tax evasion.

She marked her pending release with the release of new song Consumerism.

Hill does a speed rap in the song where she goes over a list of society's ills, according to an article on Thursday by Rolling Stone magazine.

The Killing Me Softly singer in her song targets 'corporate gree in Jesus' name' and also laments ageism, sexism, racism and 'compromised commercialism.'

The singer was sentenced in May for failing to pay taxes on more than $1.8 million earned from 2005 to 2007.

She began serving the sentence in early July at the minimum security Federal Correction Institution in Danbury, Connecticut.
Hill will be on parole for a year following her release with the first three months under house arrest.
After pleading guilty Hill had her initial sentence of one year in prison reduced after she asked for leniency due to her charity work and estrangement from the music industry.

Hill during her incarceration tried to remain positive in a message she shared in July on her Tumblr page.
'I have known since very young to look for the purpose and lesson in everything, including the trials,' Hill wrote.
She also thanked her supporters for the letters she received every day offering well wishes.
Hill started singing with The Fugees as a teenager in the 1990s before releasing her multiplatinum 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
