Prince has just released a song entitled "Baltimore" protesting injustice in the city.
"Are we gonna see another bloody day? / We're tired of cryin' and people dyin' / Let's all take the guns away," the music icon sings.
On Sunday, May 10, he will hold a Rally 4 Peace concert at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, along with 3RDEYEGIRL.
A portion of the concert's proceeds will benefit local youth charities. The audio will be streamed live on Tidal.
"I am honored to join Prince in his mission to inspire through the uniting power of music and be able to offer a platform where this moment can be shared globally," Jay Z, who owns the majority of parent company Aspiro, said in a statement released by Tidal.
"We invite all to experience the music and contribute in their own way to promote peace, tolerance and understanding," he said. "Our prayers go out to Freddie Gray's family and every family affected by brutality and senseless violence."
Tidal's statement also says, "As a symbolic message of shared humanity and love for one another, concertgoers are invited to wear something gray to the family-friendly Mother's Day event."
