yeah yeah my love is not real.... can't go on without you!

I've discovered another gem !!! A soul gem ;)

Amerigo Gazaway, the man behind the A Tribe Called Quest and The Pharycde mash-up album, as well as the De La Soul and Fela Kuti one, is back combining Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) and the legendary Marvin Gaye for a new series titled Soul Mates. 

Yasiin Gaye: The Departure has a very soulful vibe as the producer crafted his own arrangements using samples from Marvin Gaye’s music, building a foundation for Yasiin Bey’s rhymes and Marvin Gaye’s voice.

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.

We know time is precious thesedays, with just so much to consume in the world. Thankfully Boca 45 has managed to cram all of his new album into a handy 5 minute blast of beats, rhymes and psyche that encapsulates "Dig Eat Beats Repeat"

Obviously we'd suggest you slow down a little and take in the splendour of the full article, which will be released on the 23rd March.

BOCA 45 "Dig Eat Beats Repeat" 5 Minute Minimix

2 - One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish - I Would Never - El Michels Affair - Dr. Suess

A classic Soul track about uneven love and how the addiction to love's high can be a disaster when there is imbalance.

Kicking back

48 hours was all that was needed to create this EP of inspired music. Raashan Ahmad and Headnodic honed the quality of their collaboration as founding members of the groups Mission: and Crown City Rockers. That musical short-hand, friendship and effortless connection is apparent through every moment of this release of beautiful beats and rhymes. Dig.

We have been fans of Pete Philly for something like a decade. Back then Pete Philly & Perquisite were on of our favorite acts, offering incredible releases and live shows. Pete has not really released anything in the last couple years so it's on honor to be hosting his first new track in a long time. Keep your eyes open for new music by Pete to follow in the future....
