Amerigo Gazaway’s *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series’ latest installment, Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (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-purposes the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey’s tangled raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm "mashup" album.

Lyrics

Back in the day we was sat in the same row,
Maths test, science class, man had the same glow,
You took notes while I drew in my margin,
You went library, I went yard with the mandem sparrin’.
Got A’s, got praise, got mums all smilin’,
I got late trains, paint stains, wildin’.
You had UCAS, lectures, plans to expand,
I had decks, sets, cans in my hand.
Fast forward — you in suits and a wedding pic,
I’m in dark rooms, bassline medicine.
Both got dreams, both still chasin’ it,
Different beats but the clock’s still racin’ it.
Some see right, some see wrong, I see routes,
Two maps, same Earth, can’t dispute.
Your world’s calm seas, mine’s a wave that crashes,
Both in motion ’til the time light passes.

Life took us down two lanes on the same road,
You found love, I found bass in a warehouse load,
You raise kids, I raise hands when the drop comes,
Both hearts beat to a rhythm that’s not one.
Ain’t no right, ain’t no wrong, just one life to live,
You give them yours, I give the rave what I can give,
Different skies but the same sun blazin’,
Same story, just the pages we’re changin’.

Your Friday night’s with a film and the fam in bed,
Mine’s strobe lights, drum kicks bangin’ my head.
You got keys to a flat, bills paid on the reg,
I got keys to the booth, run bass through my legs.
Your baby’s cry’s got you up ’til the sunrise,
My sunrise comes when the bass makes the floor rise.
You cook meals, I skip meals on the road trip,
Fuel up on beats, keep the vibe in the whole clique.
Sometimes I wonder ’bout the path I never chose,
But I see my fam in the crowd and I know.
You’re teachin’ yours how to stand tall and be proud,
I’m teachin’ mine how to stand tall in the crowd.
Both got pressure but we breathe through it different,
You sign cards, I sign tees for the listeners.
Two timelines, both tied to the same clock,
Both writing stories ’til the ink runs off.

Life took us down two lanes on the same road,
You found love, I found bass in a warehouse load,
You raise kids, I raise hands when the drop comes,
Both hearts beat to a rhythm that’s not one.
Ain’t no right, ain’t no wrong, just one life to live,
You give them yours, I give the rave what I can give,
Different skies but the same sun blazin’,

Same story, just the pages we’re changin’.
One day we’ll both be lookin’ back from a chair,
Old tunes, old pics, silver streaks in the hair.
You’ll have grandkids, I’ll have crates full of vinyl,
Both got moments that we’ll keep as final.
Your soundtrack’s laughter around the kitchen,
Mine’s reload shouts, DJ’s mission.
You built bricks into walls that kept warm nights,
I built sets into nights that kept hearts light.
You chase legacy, I chase that drop again,
Both got highs that we try not to stop again.
Some say I’m lost, some say you found,
But we both plant seeds in our own bit of ground.
End of the line, there’s no scoreboard countin’,
Just two peaks on the same big mountain.
One life, one shot, both ways valid,
You paint your path, I spray mine in colours so savage.

Life took us down two lanes on the same road,
You found love, I found bass in a warehouse load,
You raise kids, I raise hands when the drop comes,
Both hearts beat to a rhythm that’s not one.
Ain’t no right, ain’t no wrong, just one life to live,
You give them yours, I give the rave what I can give,
Different skies but the same sun blazin’,
Same story, just the pages we’re changin’.
