Gil Scott-Heron by Brian Jackson & Yasiin Bey

Brian Jackson began writing songs in 1970 with classmate Gil Scott- Heron. Their partnership produced some of the most fiercely poignant, politically charged, and significantly soulful albums of the seventies. 'Pieces of a Man', 'Free Will', 'Winter in America', 'First Minute of a New Day', 'From South Africa to South Carolina', 'Bridges' and 'Secrets' are coveted by collectors and conscious-minded music fans alike.

Tracks like 'The Bottle', 'Johannesburg', 'It's Your World', 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised', 'Ain't No Thing as Superman', 'Winter in America', 'Lady Day and John Coltrane', 'Home is Where the Hatred Is' and 'Angel Dust', have taken on heightened new relevance today.

The artist and actor formerly known as Mos Def. Previously a member of the Native Tongues Posse, Yasiin is one of world's most talented writers and rappers - 'a visionary whose devotion to hip hop and passion combine with a synergy seldom witnessed in rap history'.
