| 3.5 great | Britch2tiger | June 26th 21 |
I think what makes rating Gazaway albums a tad more difficult to judge is in HOW the music of two artists are blended. They're a weave of hiphop and a second genre (soul or motown usually) that also include samples from varying interviews about the artists mentioned, elaboration about the mixing process (rarely self-serving), and live session snippets. The accumulation of these samples form each album into a type of audible mockumentary about the music itself, where the albums' tracks can vary from being interesting bangers w/ complementary add-ons to the occasional song blended w/ sample bits that alter the tune's impact for worse. Collectively though, I think these albums create a unique POV w/ these fantasy mashups of younger & older artists, which I think latently aids w/ packaging older musicians for younger audiences, than the traditional mixes of layering one artist's vocals over another artist's instrumentals. This imo is one of the better blends of the Gazaway catalogue.

Fantastic. Simply fantastic. I highly recommend this if you are a fan of hiohop. "...a
quality far closer to Gaye?s famous duets than that of a ?mashup? album." - Brooklyn Radio
