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.

This time around, Amerigo takes on James Brown in The Big Payback Vol lll. In the third and latest offering from "The Big Payback" summer mix series, the producer follows the exceptionally awesome first and second volumes from the legendary DJ Scratch and master craftsman, J. Period.  

Bringing together a fantasy league of all-stars for his "J.B. and The Soul Mates" tribute concept, the producer's latest offers an alternative to the sometimes uninspired, profit-driven, posthumously released albums. 

With guest appearances from Bob Marley, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Fela Kuti, The Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, and more, Amerigo pays tribute to the God Father of Soul with a re-imagined set of co-conspirators.

"I'm not sure any other artist has left their imprint on popular music, especially across so many genres, as much as James Brown has.  With as many of today's hit songs that were built around some sort of James Brown flip, it's almost like he had a say in what the music of future generations would sound like without even knowing it."

Mobb Brown - The G.O.D. Father Of Soul Pt. III (Soul Mates Remix)

Lyrics:

[chorus]
This ain't for the black mirror, this ain't for the screen,
This a real-life movie, every single scene.
They just see the highlights, nothin' in between,
Built it on my own, gotta keep my circle clean.

It ain't a matter of whether or not I got it,
It's how deep is the knot that's sittin' in my pocket.
Money so long it got rotten,
Ever seen a little turn to a lot and?

Wood grain wheel that I'm grippin' is a foreign breed,
I might take a job across the foreign seas.
Satisfy my hunger, never satisfy my greed,
Lifestyle, not a status on a black mirror screen.

Used to pray for moments like this, now it's a daily scene,
Lose the focus and it's gone like it was barely seen.
So I move in silence, let the work make the sound…
One deep, that's me—the real's dead, it's only fakes and clowns.

Turn a little to a lot, then it's overseas,
New levels, new devils, a whole new set of keys.
Gotta feed the hunger, put my mind at ease,
Yeah, this the life I lead by my own decrees.

[chorus]
This ain't for the black mirror, this ain't for the screen,
This a real-life movie, every single scene.
They just see the highlights, nothin' in between,
Built it on my own, gotta keep my circle clean.
