Today's Morning Edition music is from the tune "Baltimore," a new song by Prince that was inspired by the reaction to the death of Freddie Gray after he was injured while in police custody.

Prince performed the song and many of his hits during the "Rally 4 Peace" concert Sunday night at Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore.

Promoters promised that a portion of the revenue would go to a fund dedicated to eliminating racial discrimination and police brutality in Baltimore.
