A new video for Prince's song "Baltimore" features footage from the protests after the death of Freddie Gray, as well as photos and video from his "Rally 4 Peace" concert in May. The video, published to the YouTube account of Eryn Allen Kane—who sings on the track—also features animated lyrics underscoring Prince's themes of mourning and hope.
