Do you love the velvety voice of Marvin Gaye? The wise raps of Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def)? Then this is the project for you! Producer Amerigo Gazaway develops signature collaboration tapes that match an artist of yesteryear with a contemporary musician. His latest, Yasiin Gaye, shows Gazaway’s genius while still providing us with the music we’ve come to love. 

Enjoy this teaser video below.

More info on the project:

Gazaway’s new *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series’ first installment, the producer unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (FKA Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled “Yasiin Gaye.” Building the album’s foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics, Gazaway re-orchestrates the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey’s dense raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality far closer to Gaye’s famous duets than that of a “mashup” album.
