Gill Scott-Heron is an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 1970s and early 1980s work as a spoken word soul performer. After releasing two seminal LPs in the 70s, he spent a long time in obscurity (and prison). Scott-Heron influenced a generation of hip-hop artists through his music, his proto-rap style poetry and his political and civil rights activism, with songs like “The Revolution will not be Televised”, “The Bottle”, “Home Is Where The Hatred Is” and “Johannesberg”. After a long awaited time in prison hes back so check em out if you havent already. Also for all of you attending coachella this year keep your eyes out for GIll he will be there..
