The lyrics NEW YORK IS KILLING ME of GIL SCOTT-HERON is also present in the album I'm new here (2010)
Gil Scott-Heron (1949-2011) è stato un poeta, musicista e attivista statunitense considerato uno dei pionieri del movimento hip hop. Nato a Chicago, Heron ha iniziato la sua carriera come poeta recitante negli anni '60, combinando poesia e musica jazz per creare un nuovo genere musicale che mescolava elementi di blues, funk e soul. La sua musica era spesso politicamente carica, affrontando temi come il razzismo, la povertà e l'oppressione sociale. Heron è famoso in particolare per la sua canzone "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", diventata un inno contro la propaganda televisiva e la manipolazione dell'informazione. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Pieces of a Man" (1970) e "Winter in America" (1974). Heron ha collaborato con artisti come Brian Jackson, Herbie Hancock e Miles Davis. La sua influenza sul panorama musicale è stata profonda, ispirando generazioni di rapper, cantautori e musicisti.
