Lost Tape x Broken Soul, Mixed by Che Wax: Kendrick Lamar & Gil Scott Heron
Freight Brixton
Before Kendrick Lamar, there was Gil Scott-Heron. He laid the groundwork for conscious rap through spoken word and fearless social commentary, drawing on the East Coast jazz poets of the Harlem Renaissance to turn poetry into a political force. Decades later, Kendrick Lamar picked up the mic and carried that same tradition forward, rooted in West Coast hip-hop and built for the mainstream stage. When he quoted "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" during his Super Bowl halftime show, he was pointing straight back to where it all started. The Godfather of rap meets his poet laureate. Lost Tapes asks the question: what would a collaboration between these two sound like? Through DJs, live performance and visuals, we imagine the album that history never gave us, live on London's Largest Rooftop mixed by the legendary Ché Wax.
