"Black Sweat" is a single by Prince, from his 2006 album 3121. The video to accompany the single was released on February 2, 2006.

The song showcases minimalist funk alongside hip hop elements. Similar to "When Doves Cry" and "Kiss", a bass line is absent from the mix, which is an unusual occurence in a pop song.

Perhaps bearing relevance to the title of the album from which this song is taken (3121), the track runs for 3:12 minutes.



Billboard Hot 100 Success

For the week ending March 11, 2006, "Black Sweat" became the hot shot debut with an impressive debut of #60, beating out other new entries from Madonna (Sorry) and 50 Cent (Best Friends).
