dim Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Lots of you may not even know who this guy was. You may have heard of his new stuff with Jamie XXI guess a fair few of you know his history though.I saw him live once in the 1990s, he was already in his 70's.My mate knocked up this tribute to the great man. Tribute To Gil Scott Heron by Rory Hoy RIP Quote

dim Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 not sure who the guy is but that track is pretty good!rip to the guy and props to the guy who produced the tributeah my bad, it's not a tribute, it's been out years, they gig under the names smoove and turrell i think... and are still releasing/touring, google 'em?.Hope Gil was ok with them updating his ting for the digital age, RIP.

LabRat Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 so the soundcloud link isnt a tribute?still a pretty decent tune Quote
dim Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 nope, not a tribute, it was made as a homage/update for the original years ago.but yer its top, i play it regular. Quote
dim Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 ah shit spitfire,i just realised you said the soundcloud link.yeah that is a tribute. shit man so sorry, my bad. The kid who made that is rory hoy, i taught him some basic dj skills when he was like 16. He's autistic and the sweetest kid you could meet but he's a major funk head too. He's 21 now, still djs a bit but mainly concentrates on his prod, he releases on freddy fresh's label.so sorry, i thought you meant the youtube link which is a remake by smoove and turrell.both good tunes but if you wanna share some love follow the soundcloud link and leave him some feedback there, he totally deserves it.
