The seminal Gil Scott-Heron, Brian Jackson & The
Midnight Band were the forerunners of socially-conscious hip hop. Respected around the world (8+ million You Tube video views and growing as new fans discover the tunes) they continue to inspire with their music and message. This project is a powerful expression of that influence featuring covers and interpolations of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson's music.
Watch/Listen to 'Opponent' (Feat. Dead Prez, Martin Luther) inspired by and including elements of 'Angola' by Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson. (Cleared for posting):
