A New Black Poet - Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, also known simply as Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, is the debut album of recording artist Gil Scott-Heron, released in 1970 on Flying Dutchman Records.
 Recording sessions for the album were originally said to have taken place live at a New York nightclub located on the corner of 125th Street and Lenox Avenue, but liner notes included in the 2012 box set "The Revolution Begins: The Flying Dutchman Masters", Scott-Heron himself insists that a small audience was brought to 'the studio' and seated on 'folding chairs'.
 By the time of the recordings, Scott-Heron had published a volume of poetry and his first novel, "The Vulture".
 Well received by music critics who found Scott-Heron's material imaginative, "Small Talk at 125th and Lenox" has been described as "a volcanic upheaval of intellectualism and social critique" by Allmusic editor John Bush.
We're New Here is a remix album by American recording artist Gil Scott-Heron and English music producer Jamie xx, released on February 21, 2011, by Young Turks and XL Recordings.
 A longtime fan of Scott-Heron, Jamie xx was approached by XL label head Richard Russell to remix Scott-Heron's 2010 studio album "I'm New Here".
 He worked on the album while touring with his band The xx in 2010 and occasionally communicated with Scott-Heron through letters for his approval to rework certain material.
It's Your World is a double album by soul artist Gil Scott-Heron and musician Brian Jackson, released in November 1976 on Arista Records.
 Recording sessions for the album took place in studio and live in July 1976 at St. Paul's Mall in Boston, Massachusetts, Electric Lady Studios in New York City, and American Star Studios in Merrifield, Virginia.
 Scott-Heron and Jackson recorded the album with the former's backing ensemble, The Midnight Band.
 "It's Your World" was originally released on vinyl and was later re-released in 2000 on compact disc by Scott-Heron's Rumal-Gia label.
Gilbert "Gil" Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011) was an American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author, known primarily for his work as a spoken-word performer in the 1970s and 1980s.
 His collaborative efforts with musician Brian Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues, and soul, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron.
 His own term for himself was "bluesologist", which he defined as "a scientist who is concerned with the origin of the blues".
 His music, most notably on "Pieces of a Man" and "Winter in America" in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul.
 In fact, Scott-Heron himself is considered by many to be the first rapper/MC ever, a recognition also shared by fellow American MC Coke La Rock.
"The Bottle" is a song by American soul artist Gil Scott-Heron and musician Brian Jackson, released in 1974 on Strata-East Records in the United States.
 It was later reissued during the mid-1980s on Champagne Records in the United Kingdom.
 "The Bottle" was written by Scott-Heron and produced by audio engineer Jose Williams, Jackson, and Scott-Heron.
 The song serves is a social commentary on alcohol abuse, and it features a Caribbean beat and notable flute solo by Jackson, with Scott-Heron playing keyboards.
"Who Will Survive in America" is the final track of the standard edition of American rapper Kanye West's album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy".
 The piece, featuring no vocals from West himself, serves as the album's coda and is built on a sample of Gil Scott-Heron's "Comment No. 1", a blunt, surrealist piece delivered by Scott-Heron in spoken word about the African-American experience and the faded idealism of the American dream.
 Scott-Heron's poem, which criticized the 1960s Revolutionary Youth Movement for failing to recognize the more basic needs of the African-American community, is edited to a reduced version on the track that, according to music writer Greg Kot, "retains its essence, that of an African-American male who feels cut off from his country and culture".
 By contrast, Sean Fennessey interprets it as "a too-serious denouement for an album that is more about the self’s little nightmares than some aching societal rejection".
 West had previously sampled Scott-Heron on "My Way Home", a track from his 2005 album "Late Registration".
The Mind of Gil Scott-Heron (subtitled "A Collection of Poetry and Music") is a 1978 album by spoken word and rap pioneer Gil Scott-Heron.
 Like many of Scott-Heron's albums, the album's content primarily addresses political and social issues; however, "The Mind of Gil Scott-Heron" relies far more on his spoken word delivery than his other albums.
 Whereas much of the artist's earlier albums contained backup jazz-funk music from Brian Jackson, many of these tracks, which address contemporary issues such as Watergate, the pardon of Richard Nixon and the Attica Prison riot, are either live recordings or studio-recorded songs with little more than sparse drum backing or occasional instrumentation.
 Many of the tracks featured were included on previous Gil Scott-Heron albums.
The Best Of Gil Scott-Heron is a 1984 compilation album by American recording artist Gil Scott-Heron, released on the Arista label.
Alice Hoffman (born March 16, 1952) is an American novelist and young-adult and children's writer, best known for her 1995 novel "Practical Magic", which was adapted for a 1998 film of the same name.
 Many of her works fall into the genre of magic realism and contain elements of magic, irony, and non-standard romances and relationships.
The First Minute of a New Day is an album by American jazz vocalist Gil Scott-Heron and keyboardist Brian Jackson, released in January 1975 on Arista Records.
 Recording sessions for the album took place in the summer of 1974 at D&B Sound in Silver Spring, Maryland.
 It was the follow-up to Scott-Heron's and Jackson's critically acclaimed collaboration effort "Winter in America".
 "The First Minute of a New Day" was the first album to feature "Winter in America", the title track of Scott-Heron's previous album which was not featured on its original LP release.
 The album was reissued on compact disc by Scott-Heron's label Rumal-Gia Records in 1998.
