On the series\u2019 first installment, the producer unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled \u201cYasiin Gaye\u201d. Building the album\u2019s foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye\u2019s Motown classics, Gazaway re-orchestrates the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey\u2019s dense raps and Gaye\u2019s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality far closer to Gaye\u2019s famous duets than that of a \u201cmashup\u201d album.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 344px;\" src=\"http:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=978444018\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"http:\/\/amerigo.bandcamp.com\/album\/yasiin-gaye-the-departure-side-one\">Yasiin Gaye: The Departure (Side One) by Amerigo Gazaway<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amerigo Gazaway\u2019s new *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-download","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-jEQ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75568\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
