“Born 2 Die” is the second single made available from Prince’s upcoming unreleased studio album Welcome 2 America and is available now. The song was recorded during a flurry of studio activity in the spring of 2010, when President Obama was just a year into his first term and Prince was reflecting deeply on the issues affecting the Black community and the role he hoped to play. As happened countless times throughout his career, Prince ended up shelving the song and the rest of Welcome 2 America in his legendary vault, and the full album will be released from the vault for the first time on July 30. The slow-burning song was first recorded by Prince, the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, and the drummer Chris Coleman, and then accentuated by the vocal harmonies of Shelby J., Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo, and topped off by a melody sung by Prince himself. He then tapped his longtime music director Morris Hayes to add final production to the track-and shared some of the inspiration behind its sound. "We got to 'Born 2 Die,' and Prince said, 'I'll tell you how that came about,' Morris remembers. "He had been watching videos of his friend Dr. Cornel West on CZcams, and during one speech Dr. West said, 'I love my brother Prince, but he’s no Curtis Mayfield.' So Prince said, "Oh really? We will see."

Why he hasn't been inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame is beyond me. His life long work continues to prove over and over that he's a great lyricist and "true" artist! 💜💜💜
I agree 100%. I am a songwriter and read lots of books, both new and old, on the craft of songwriting. It always baffles me when someone who wrote more songs than anyone I can think of is not mentioned in these books...
@@timkaye9311 Exactly!
I've said that for many years and signed the petition at change.org to vote Him in but I personally think Gamble and Huff among other powers that be are responsible for him not getting in. How many of those artist that's been inducted have the musical resume that Prince does??
@@mrtoles8692 Exactly....
@Tony Indeed!!
I miss him. It's ridiculous how painful his death has been on me. There will never be anyone close to Prince's caliber again. The most talented and important musician ever.
So well put. I feel the same. The world hasn't been the same since
Thank You, for saying that I totally agree with you. It's like a family member died. Miss him everyday
Same here my friend xoxo
I know how you feel I the same
I Absolutely Feel the same way. I miss him so terribly. 🕊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🕊
Prince is not die, the 21th April 2016 was just the end of his Earth Tour

Correct.
I am 49 ans fan since i was 12 .
He was the Mozart of this time 💜💜🙏🏻 he will always be no 1 for me. Miss this genius
👏👏👏👍💜
I'm 59 and "sexy dancer" was one of the top songs at house parties in the late 70s. And I'm still a fan...
Legends never die, they just move on to another plateau.

Prince Rogers Nelson (1958-4ever)
1958-Forever. Damn right!
He didn't die
We'll never see the like of him again. A true musical genius.
His own, or another, Soul can will itself to be reborn with the same talent ♾️👁️🎆✨💜♥️ We are infinite love energy ♥️♾️ There have been many gifted musicians/singers over the centuries. Maybe Prince's Soul used to be one of them from 100's or even 1000's of years ago (we can have millions of lives over aeons of time if we so wish/will it to be so. See Alba Weinman on YT) and once he'd passed over way back then, he could've willed himself to become embodied back on Earth by 1958 because he could see then from the Heavenly realms that the musical toys were starting to be so much more varied, electronic and fun 😊👌🏽🎸🎹🎼🎵🎶 What lies up ahead for this beautiful Soul...for all of us? 🤗👁️☮️♥️💜♒💫♾️
Truest words ever spoken.
“There’ll never B another like me”
There will and are stars raising up

Prince lives through his art
Always & 4ever, I believe future generations will embrace his vast prolific talent
I pray that Prince will reawaken as an icon, even though his flesh is dead.
Prince shall live.
Or he may not be dead at all. LOL
Prince is immortal indeed ❤🎶
Yes indeed 😎💜
MY BROTHA ISN'T DEAD, HE STILL LIVES ON, LONG LIVE THE PRINCE
PEACE
It is so lovely to hear Prince's voice again with new music. I miss him every day. Can't wait for the new album.
Perfectly said.
All these Artist faked their death its part of their Legend Contract. They fake their death retire to the living dead community on an island somewhere off the chart.
Why? Its an Agreement with the industry to Get Highest Promotion and Success and most wealth but at a price they have to hand power over their whole career and catalog and merchandising the Artist is then rewarded with Legendary Status in the World.
The plan just under Legend is ICON status where the Artist remains living but semi retired and does not produce new music and makes appearance now and then.
Prince knew his time was coming Listen to Mr. Nelson he knew it how did he record Sometimes it snows in April on the same date he died back in 85 because he knew when his time was up when he signed and upgraded his plan right after 1999 and Exploded with Purple Rains Massive Success.
All the Artist who are gone went the same way because its all staged. From Jimi to Janis to Morrison to Elvis to Cobain to Tupac to Biggie to Winehouse to Whitney to M-J to George Micheal they all signed the Legend contract. They all handed their Careers over to the industry to be Legends. Its better to Burn out then Fade away- Kurt Cobain. They All Live.

Exactly!
Absolutely
43 years in my ears & my 💜 to Infinity!
Early Happy Birthday in Heaven (Monday 6/7). It's OK to celebrate those we love who have transcended because it says Thank you God. We're glad he was here!❤
100% my number 1 always and forever 💜
Hands down 1 of the Greatest if not the Greatest to create life in Music
There are legends, then there is Prince Rogers Nelson.
R.I.P. Beautiful One 💜
This song on rotation until the album drops.
This song brings tears to my eyes. The bass is sumptuous. In fact every layer is just so well put together. When a song lifts you out of yourself and places you at the scene that's genius right there. Miss you every day Prince 💜
The way i clicked on this video the second it was posted lol. When i see Prince i click faster than the speed of light. 😂
Beginning and end of story lol 💟
I click with the quickness 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Righttt miss him so much! There will neva be anotha! 🐐👑 RIP Prince 🙏🏽🕊✝️👼🏽💜
It's just that simple.
Me 2.
One of the greatest human being and humanitarian that ever lived a true visionary RIP Prince 🤴🙏😢💔
I don't think Sinéad O'Connor would concur
He was anti LGBQT so there goes all that down the toilet. You can't be a humanitarian and a bigot. I love his music though.
@@adjustafresh well, she's a bit out there and combative. I can imagine she's hard to deal with.
@@Screencappedhats Well that’s what being in a bad place and under the influence of jehovah’s witnesses doesn’t matter to me other than that he was a very kind person so he doesn’t have to care for that movement if he doesn’t want to and he wasn’t a bigot
@Tony thank you tony
The world changed forever the day Prince passed. We miss U #Prince4EVER
"He had been watching videos of his friend Dr. Cornel West on CZcams, and during one speech Dr. West said, 'I love my brother Prince, but he’s no Curtis Mayfield.' So Prince said, "Oh really? We will see."
Hahaha, I love them both.
" The world is not the same "
The world is not the same anymore
Without you, the songs that fill,
My heart, are all about you,
The pain, when you went away,
Nothing can stop it, but I feel,
Better, when I reminisce about the
Good times,
How your songs, that touch my,
Soul, cry out forever more,
Nothing, can take their place,
Deep, inside of me,
When I felt so lost, they spoke to me,
Growing up, was sometimes rough,
I do remember, but the gifts you left behind, sing like a symphony,
I'll always treasure,
Between you and me, purple rain, forever....

With all respect to Dr. West, Curtis Mayfield is no Prince.
Not a fan of West anyway, Glad Prince Checked him with this.
Dr. West is right.
Prince is the extension of Curtis. The Most High blessed us with both. Curtis for Dr. West's generation and Prince for mine.
They're part of the same blessing continuum.
Musicology lives on. We're so fortunate!!!
Amazing!!! Can't even imagine how many incredible tracks are in the vault. Phew he did Curtis Mayfield proud with this tune!
I was going to comment this gives me Curtis vibes 💜💜
@@csharp57 same here that what Cornel west said about prince he said prince is his brother he loves him but he's no Curtis Mayfield ... prince response:. Oh really we will see
Excellent observation; YES HE DID, INDEED.
@@jasoncorley5703 Thanks alot man! He sure did.
@@thepromiseman7745 I saw that when Cornel West said that one. I put Curtis way above most other musicians... Prince is one of the few cats I'd put alongside Curtis.
Anyone who compares P♾ with anyone else, never understood his work or him in the first place. You cannot compare the infinite.
Well, to rephrase on of his songs, Nothing Compares To Prince.
Very well said!!
Yep, p has the... Infinity Stones,... For he is the purple Thanos!!!!!
I lost a piece of myself when Prince died. I just hope he is jamming in heaven. Getting plenty of ☮️ he deserves. 💟 You forever my brother. 😘
I lost a big piece of myself that day as well. Still so painful in so many ways.
This. Until I read this I didn’t realize that is what happened to me 😭, his music got me thru some terrible terrible things. I will always love him, he is deeply ingrained in me 💜. Thank you for putting in to words what I felt that day
@@oneluckyruby 😘 🙏
This man was a true genius no one could keep up with him and still no one can’t most talented and special Artist of all time.
Plus the Prince community is one of the best worldwide just awesome people are in it love you all 💜🎸🕊
The Prince Estate will be releasing his music for generations to come. Long after we're gone, there will be new songs and new albums full of unheard material for artists and musicians to learn from and forward thinkers to digest. The question of whether Prince achieved immortality has been answered. Bravo, my man. Love you forever.
Nice knowing wish the MJ estate did the same with Michael’s music but nah will see how that holds up much love for Prince though
Too bad I'll be dead before I hear all of it. Useless if you ask me. The fanbase is now in the 40-70 years range. There is hardly a new fanbase to keep it going over generations.
@@MrKapo74 Exactly. The way they are going it will take another 10 years just to release super deluxe versions of his all his 80s albums. They should be releasing 1 every 6 months. Generation X (who still buy physical media) will gladly pay for it.
@@MrKapo74 Mozart still has fans and musicians still play his compositions. Billy Strayhorn still has fans and musicians still play his music. Bernard Herrmann still has fans and musicians still play his compositions. IMHO, Prince's compositions will be loved and performed by musicians as long as we have musicians.
@@MrKapo74 I'm 32 and a huge fan.
I love when Prince tells a story in his songs. Born 2 Die is the vain of The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker & Joy In Repetition. And the music is fantastic. It’s soul music through & through. I can only imagine what kind of music Prince would be doing right now with where the world is today.
Prince we miss u but u live on 4ever & ever 💜
It reminds me strongly of Shy from The Gold Experience.
The day Prince died, I had to cancel doctors appointment. I was devastated. Forever Prince love Tasmania Australia x
Sydney girl! ❣️
i broke down at work
@@corey7704 Me too. I had to leave, i was literally sick.
Yes, that was an extremely hard day!! I cried for days afterwards.
@@jennyh444 i ended up leaving also. I was out that next day too
I miss you Prince. RIP
There is still more 2 come. The future is Prince music
There's more to come than was originally {officially... ...} released. he wanted to release more than an album a year but the industry corpoRATists wouldn't let him and could not conceive of keeping up and squeezing every nickel out of him and each song.
@@MartyFRsfNE There's a reason most (all) artists don't release an album a year...That's a good song though, it probably didn't get released because it sounded like a Curtis Mayfield outtake. I love Curtis BTW.
Talent is a flame. Genius is a powerful fire. Prince always was on fire. Let's energize his fire until the end of time. Prince's songs have always been my faithful companions in moments of loneliness and darkness.

Thanks you for your support in my career God bless you. Princemofficial22@gmail.com
I can definitely hear the Curtis Mayfield inspiration. Looking forward to the whole album!
Yes same immediate response 🙈🐵🍒💦 Marvin Gaye, Barry wHite too, wHole 70’s soul song era
I would add Roy Ayers !
He most definitely had Curtis Mayfield on his mind when he recorded this track
This album has early 70's vibe all through it. Simply awesome!!
i know! I LOVE it!!
What lp is this from?
I can't wait for this new album. Prince was so ahead of his time. His music just fits right in even though he wrote it years ago. A true musical genius. I don't think there will be another like him. I'm happy we have his music. His legacy will continue to live on for many many years. 💜💜💜💜
Prince was truly talented 🎶
This track starts my day off in a good mood. Rip "Purple One"
This album is destined for greatness. (Age 16) love Prince
Pandemic times would have been easier if Prince was alive, I'm sure he would have worked in new wonderful projects and wore beautiful face masks and sent out a message of hope.
My theory is that all the greats who left us just before it hit wanted to get really good seats for it.
Face mask wearing is part of a satanic ritual that disrespects God’s creation. It’s ungodly to cover your face. Masks wearing also supports child abuse. It’s a shame to think that he would take part in that.
@@MrBKings its really not when it comes to face masks like these. these are the masks like doctors use for sanitary and health reasons
@@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi Children of the lie believe lies. Masks don’t work, it says so on the box they come in. Even Fraudchi says so. All the so called experts knew this but still got everyone to live in fear and participate in dehumanizing evil. Do you not see this? Do you believe in God?
@@MrBKings you're a kook.
I'm a simple man, I see Prince, I click on it
what an original comment! NEVER read a comment like that before! *NEVER* Where DO you come up with so much originality??
A great musician , songwriter, singer indeed. Rest in peace.
One of the BEST ARTISTS of this generation, miss his music, RIP/H
Yeah easily
DONT MISS IT... ITS HERE... IMAGINE A VAULT FULL OF THESE JEWELS... THERES SO MUCH MATERIAL FOR THE NEXT 15 YEARS
@@rulacius Music for lifetimes…#4evrprince💜🦋0(+>
I disagree. He is the best of all time. You got it wrong my brotha
One of his best jazz numbers ever! I like the gritty story he tells in it too.
The timing couldn’t have been better. Gave me an appreciation for the stories he didn’t tell and we’ll probably never hear from him personally.
That groove deep.... Prince has NOT left the building!
His music is eternal!!!💕💃
Love this song. Miss his physical presence on this earth 💜💜💜
Prince, you always did what you wanted. As a musician, there is no one who can take the throne from you. You are unique, thank God for Prince. You took it away fast. Your music is different. There are no artists, the last great was you. A great admirer, from Buenos Aires. I celebrate your songs every day. Thanks Prince.
I'm so excited for this album, it's crazy
I was in Spain when someone told me Prince had passed…………..didn’t believe it……….as a fan since ‘78, life has never been the same since that day, but what an unbelievable legacy he has left us……..we are so lucky……thank you……peace and love.
I can respect an artist who collects his material in a way that he can have it and posess it entirely: so that when he dies, that same material can be made available for other people to love and posess it in exactly the same way.
Music is an idea in sound: shared by geniuses, misfits and others. You too can have an idea about music.
One of the most creative artist that ever lived.
It’s great we still, have a part of him. RIP Prince, you are missed.💓💓💓👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🧚🏾🧚🏾
Prince just took these legendries off the shelf, dusted them off...Never to be forgotten...even with artists still living...instead of being left on the shelf...very innovative...revolutionary to have them as a part of this life...PRINCE...c/c
He is absolutely alive in his music... thanks for all the healing grooves you gave to us. We value them as precious jewels.
On what would have been Curtis Mayfield's 80th birthday, the estate releases Prince's most overt homage to the late soul musician's aesthetic. This is Prince's version of a tunes by Curtis like "Kung Fu" and "Billy Jack". Although Prince talking about street life on this song is generic, the groove and singing is unmistakable. I like Prince's shout out to Oakland and "Frisco Bay"-land of the pimpin' hustle
Totally agree. Never heard him sound so much like Curtis.
But Curtis couldn't do Curtis *AND* #MARZ, #G-Spot, #Head, #ANOTHERLOVE, #Anotherloverholenyohead, #Sick, #AYDKMN, etc.
very good call man you have a good ear and memory
Artistically said
which song is this raka?
So good to hear some new Prince. This is a very cruisy track
Can’t wait for the new album
happy birthday dear prince, you still live inside all those who love you...
On oct 21 2021 after 10pm, heard: 'Born 2 die', by Prince: exquisite , eclectic, real and prophetic in a way for me.
I was in a trance with the 70s like Mr. Curtis Mayfield vibe( I am repeating a comment made early by a fan who felt the same about this outstanding song)simply lovely beyond imagination, but then all his music was, 'Genius', I ran out of positive adjectives ,words to describe this gifted man.
Everyday I am learning more and more about Mr. Nelson. And, it's an amazing journey for me indeed.
Wonderful, and thank you for this inspiring upload. Good night and stay healthy. 💝🌹🇺🇸🎼🎸🎤👍😎
still crying........ miss him so much, love the song.
If Prince had lived to see this released, Curtis would smile in heaven.
Together in heaven
Absolutely!❤
But Roy Ayers Can smile alive…
@@jackelcalvo8916 You’re right, it definitely has some of that Coffy “vibe” as well! On the other hand, there are actually no Ayeresque “vibes” involved in the instrumental arrangement... -- at least as far as I can hear.
Party ain't over! Our Prince is truly immortal. This track is orgasmic to my ears and soul, so beautifully produced and crafted. The forthcoming album might well rank right up there with his other classics. L4OA xoxo
Prince has returned!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
He never went away.
His Purple Majesty! 💜💜💜
When you don't follow trends and deliver pure music from the heart, this is what you get: TIMELESS stuff. Can't wait for the album!
I was born ,to know there is Prince.last 30 years of my life has come under his sign! Rest and peace! Remember YOU!!!
I truly miss my Gemini brother we shared a Birthday June 7 , Rest In Peace Sweet Prince
So nice to hear new music. More recent music, that is. The estate is doing a fine job in regards to new releases. Thank u!
I will NEVER be as attached to a celebrity as I was/am to Prince .... I completely fell out at work when he passed and could not function for days😭
We continue to be blessed by listening to the magical, amazing sounds of Prince. Always feeling the vibes and energy of his creation called music.
He is 4ever.
..i’m gonna say it right now, this is one of Prince’s greatest songs..that we’ve heard so far!..that’s the magic of the Minneapolis’s favorite one..i worked for PRN in the 1980’s and even then those working for Prince knew that the vault was filling up fast..what?..the man has thousands of unreleased jams..more fire on the way..stay safe and stay strong..New York August 5, 2021..
I miss dear Prince, he had so much more to do!! Rest in Peace Prince!!⚘✌
Happy Heavenly Birthday Mr. Nelson, you'll always be God's gift to music in my eyes....
We, simple mortals, are the ones born 2 die. U, my prince, will live 4ever...

Prince was, is and will remain a true artist to be admired for his immense talent... and remembered for his musical integrity & legacy.
Pretenders may try, but not one single musician of any ability will ever come close to assuming his throne.
Nice, and soulful! Yes, agree has a similar style to Curiis Mayfield! 💜💜🎶🎹
Oh you are spot on! Very CM-esque.
Total 70s vibe. I can see the video in my mind.
Yes, this song was done because Prince saw a video of Dr. Cornel West saying that while he loved Prince, he was "no Curtis Mayfield" and Prince was like "oh yeah? We'll see about that."
@@MrSuperjam789 Well Prince sure proved his point! Superb style, sound, musical composition and performance! 💜🎶🎼

Incredible horn and string arrangement. Totally captures the Mayfield vibe
Thank you for that. When he played the raw tracks for me, that’s exactly what I heard and brought it back with that vibe on it. I appreciate your ear hearing that too. He gave me one of the best compliments he ever gave me on the production of this song. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
