“On the Soul Mates series’ latest installment, #Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper #YasiinBey (FKA #MosDef) and soul legend #MarvinGaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled “ #YasiinGaye ”. 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 I'd hit play.”
