Free Will is the second studio album by American poet Gil Scott-Heron, released in August 1972 on Flying Dutchman Records. Gil Scott-Heron reinforces his position as Godfather of R ap on Free Will, an introspective and soulful album roughly the length of a demo tape. Police brutality, the consequences of violence and self-exploration make excellent arguments for his place in the canon of spoken word — not only because of his lyrical content and profundity, but because he was a master of delivery, even in his idealistic twenties.
