As part of an experimental new project, Producer Amerigo Gazaway has combined the sounds of emcee Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) and the Motor City’s late soul-godfather Marvin Gaye.
The concept album, titled Yasiin Gaye, features deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics rearranged as new compositions. These reconstructed favorites serve as a platform for integrated Gaye vocal-contributions and Bey’s complimenting raps.
Listen to the album’s first release – “Inner City Travelin’ Man.”
