Gil Scott-Heron has experienced more than just a comeback; he’s had a full-on reawakening. I’m New Here, which was released earlier this year via XL, captured the rebirth that everyone has been waiting for, for more than 15 years. The album includes elements of electronica and folk, with the sound of an aged Scott-Heron expressing tributes to his family and reflecting on his upbringing. And if that’s not impressive, Nas has collaborated with Scott-Heron on “New York Is Killing Me” by adding his signature sophistication that flows with staggering energy throughout the song. Nas’ mark on Scott-Heron’s new material has left many hoping that this is not the end of a possible dynamic duo.
