As you might know, Jamie xx, the 'programmer/beat-maker' from the XX, has been commissioned to remix last years fairly massive Gil Scott-Heron comeback album, I'm New Here. However, he wanted to include and sample some of Gil's old work and set it to an older, RJD2 style, while embedding Gil's new work in his newer, dubstepy style. We're New Here will be the albums title, out Feb 21/22.








Here is the promised video for Gil Scott-Heron's New York is Killing Me directed by the notorious Cris Cunningham.
