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.

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."

Yasiin Gaye - Sex, Love & Money

Download here: https://amerigo.bandcamp.com/album/the-big-payback-vol-3-j-b-the-soul-mates

1. Bob Brown = James Brown x Bob Marley
2. Busta Brown = James Brown x Busta Rhymes
3. The Notorious J.B.'s = James Brown x The Notorious B.I.G.
4. Mobb Brown = James Brown x Mobb Deep 
5. Fela Brown = James Brown x Fela Kuti (feat Jeru The Damaja)
6. Jackson Brown - James Brown x Michael Jackson
7. The Illmatics = Nas x The Dramatics (feat. James Brown)

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."

We are one week away from the release of Amerigo Gazaway's B.B. King/UGK reimagining, "B.B. & The Underground Kingz: The Trill is Gone," and have a brand new single to share. 

Written by Willie Dixon and originally performed by Muddy Waters, "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" was popularized by the likes of B.B. King, Etta James, and The Rolling Stones. Reinterpreting King's version as a collaborative effort with UGK, Gazaway incorporated B.B.'s samples while making use of Pimp C & Bun B's "Ride [F*ck]My Car" vocals.
