Gil Scott-Heron‟s poetry and music is widely acknowledged as the matrix from which hip-hop and neo-soul emerged. His transgressive, politicized, spoken-word-meets-jazz recordings, including, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”, Whitey on the Moon, The Bottle and Small Talk at 125th and Lennox, have been covered, sampled, referenced, deified and parodied by generations of artists. 2010 saw the release of I’m New Here, Scott-Heron‘s first release in thirteen years.
