This is a track that we co-produced with Jon Mercure for the original Fingerpaint project. It's soulful, it's got a dope groove to it, one of my favorites...#ListenToHannibal

Shifting focus for the second installment of "Yasiin Gaye", Amerigo aimed to highlight the often overlooked accomplishments of Marvin Gaye's role as the producer.

"I wanted to build this side from more of Marvin's original production work. He was doing a lot of what we do now, in terms of looping and pulling samples from other pre-recorded sessions decades before hip-hop made it common practice to do so. This also gave me the room to feature other artist [Chuck Berry, The Temptations, Talib, etc.] and re-present those classic Mos [Def] versus in a new context." 
 
Soul Mates Series:

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.

Yasiin Gaye - There is a Way

НОВОГОДНЯЯ

kkamiistar - dont look at me im a monster // #😓 #🔽

DJ Rhettmatic of the Beat Junkies is starting a 45 Vinyl Series that will feature his own production work & with artists that he worked with (New, Old, &Unreleased). All 45s will be limited edition runs & will be released thru the Beat Junkies’ sub-division label: Sound Junkies Recording. The 1st 45 single will contain 2 new songs as a ‘Double A’ side featuring 2 groups that Rhettmatic is a part of: The Visionaries & Crown Royale.

The other Double A-Side song, “Stratasphere” is a new song from Crown Royale (Jamall Bufford of The Black Opera & Rhettmatic). Jamall fka Buff1 gets down on a spacey Boom Bap track that Rhett lays down along with traditional scratch chorus hooks, on some dynamic duo DJ/MC steeze.

Embracing the role of music as a catalyst for healing and change, J.PERIOD joins forces with artist/activists including Jesse Williams, Rhymefest, Aloe Blacc, Joss Stone, Black Thought (The Roots), DJ Jazzy Jeff, Pharoahe Monch, Posdnous (De La Soul) and more for “RISE UP! Music Inspired by America Divided.” The first single “Miranda” features an introduction from actor/activist Jesse Williams, with rappers Rhymefest & Xzibit posing provocative questions about the state of our nation over a J.PERIOD-produced beat. “We’re pointing fingers at each other and we’re missing the point…” Rhymefest begins. Unity, not division, is the solution for what ails our country—a fitting message in honor of what would have been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 88th birthday earlier this week.

Something I made years ago; not long after this single dropped. More of a blend than a remix actually. Threw the acapella over an already existing beat that I had made & liked how it sounded. But not enough to release it any capacity. Until now anyways. RIP Prodigy.
