Just when you thought you’ve heard all the Prince songs imaginable, a bombshell has been dropped. Prince left behind a solid collection of songs that never made it out to the public. Now, an unreleased song from 1982 called “Moonbeam Levels” has just dropped and you’ve got to listen to it. The song is one of several, from greatest hits album called Prince4Ever.

In recent news, Jay Z offered to buy the rights to all of Prince’s unreleased music and was essentially granted permission under certain conditions.
