    "comment": "Prince released the protest song \"Baltimore\" in April 2015 to honor Freddie Gray, who died in police custody, and to address the resulting city riots. Recorded at Paisley Park, the track featured Eryn Allen Kane and was followed by a May 2015 \"Rally 4 Peace\" concert at Royal Farms Arena. \n\nDescribed as a \"Sly\" protest song (in the style of Sly and the Family Stone), the track features a mixture of hopeful licks, gospel-choir vocals, and a rock'n'roll bassline.\n\nOn May 10, 2015, Prince played a 2.5-hour, surprise show at Baltimore’s Royal Farms Arena, which served as a, show that was less about a benefit concert for Baltimore and more about healing and celebration. The concert featured guests like Miguel and Doug E. Fresh, with attendees encouraged to wear the color gray.\n\nDuring the show, Prince emphasized that \"the system is broken\" and urged young people to take the lead in fixing it.",
