About

With his latest Soul Mates Project, Amerigo Gazaway imagines a studio session between the high priestess of soul, Nina Simone, and living legend, Lauryn Hill. Continuing the "collaborations that never were" theme of his previous releases, the producer seamlessly connects the dots between hip-hop and the genre's predecessor, soul. "Soul Mates' "collaborations that never were" enters new territory with a now familiar deft and verve, this time highlighting intergenerational conjurings between two black women cultural workers from the civil rights and hip-hop generations. with Nina Simone and Lauryn Hill seated together at the table, collaboration transforms into vivid conversations, call and response, and a call to action-private, personal, and public-across space, time, realm." - via Zandria Robinson
