Gil Scott-Heron Tribute Mix by Gilles Peterson

Today though, we get a tribute from a man who’s been promoting this genre of music for well over 20 years and is more familiar with Gil Scott-Heron’s lineage of work far beyond what many know him for, which is his famous quote, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.” The creator, Gilles Peterson has been the BBC Radio host of underground funk, soul and hip-hop for over two decades and is all too familiar with Gil Scott-Heron’s illustrious career.
