Rhiannon Giddens was recently on The Daily Show and she performed "Another Wasted Life" from her new solo album, You're the One. The song is about Kalief Browder, who spent a few years in prison without ever having been given a trial and much of that was spent in solitary confinement. He would, sadly, kill himself in 2015.
As someone remarked to me, this is Giddens channeling Nina Simone. Powerful stuff here.
