Gil Scott-Heron - "Me And The Devil"

"Me and The Devil" is the first thing Gil Scott Heron has released in over a decade. In the 70's Heron wrote songs such as "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" and "Winter In America." He's known for his intelligent street poetry and was a major influence on the birth of hip hop. The music video for "Me and The Devil" has skeleton crews roaming the streets and sinister looking carnies looming in the shadows. Heron continues to push his artistry to new heights. His forthcoming LP titled, "I'm New Here" is due out on February 9th.
