Gil Scott-Heron

I'm New Here

Resurfacing after 13 years out of the game, the legendary proto-rap spoken word revolutionary poet returns with a new album on XL. Its like he had never been away. Im New Here is a brilliant, age-defying achievement, melding the savage political commentary and dexterous wordplay Scott Heron has become known for. Showing up the young pretenders to his crown (heres looking at you Mike Skinner), and already touted as one of the defining records of the next decade, Im New Here is burningly
