I’ve pimped Amerigo Gazaway’s mash-up work for a few years. He has this unique ability to combine classic soul/jazz/RnB with old school hip-hop to make seamless works.

In the past we featured his Fela Soul production and I tried to get the first part of Yasiin Gaye: The Departure album before it was taken down several months ago. Instead […]
