RIP GIL The Godfather of rap.

Hard to put into words just what Gil has meant to many of us. Black political activist, poet, singer, musician and author. Through his honesty both in his work and his private life I am truly humbled and changed.

Gil will be sorley missed in this realm. RIP Mr Heron.

Gil Scott Heron new ALBUM

As a longterm Gil Scott Heron fan, I cant wait for "I'm New Here" released by XL whose boss apparently "tracked him down at Rikers island prison and offered to produce a new LP".

Just listened to the track "Im new here"..STUNNING acoustic country blues reality!!

I'm Here Now is released 8th February 2010
