GIL SCOTT HERON – “ME & THE DEVIL”

Anybody who knows me well knows that Gil’s music is a constant source of inspiration for me. Having put together some of the most thought provoking and soulful music of his era, Gil is a true legend, whose influence is felt in more ways than most listeners even understand. With that said, it’s good to see he’s back to making new music. “Me & The Devil” is the first single from his upcoming release, I’m New Here, due out February 8th. Dark as hell, with some dope visuals to boot.
