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.
Back in 2016, Amerigo discussed his conceptual collaboration projects via a roundtable discussion at MoPOP’s annual POP Conference in Seattle.
During the discussion, a fellow panelist, writer and professor, Zandria Robinson, posed an interesting question:
“Where’s your project celebrating women artists?”
Two years later the answer is shared with the new Nina Simone + Lauryn Hill mixtape,
“The Miseducation of Eunice Waymon”.
