This Gil Scott-Heron song is actually a cover of the original song "Me and The Devil Blues" by blues singer and guitarist Robert Johnson. It tells the story of the Devil coming to collect the narrator’s soul. Much speculation surrounds the meaning of this song, and most of it comes from the legend that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil for the ability to play blues guitar.
The song "Cocoa Sugar" by Young Fathers tells the story of a refugee father putting his child – whom he calls Cocoa Sugar – on a boat, saying his goodbyes. Watch the video to “Cocoa Sugar” and watch Young Fathers' KEXP in-studio performance from 2014 here: www.kexp.org
