Stream Amerigo Gazaway's B.B. King-UGK Mashup The Trill Is Gone in its Entirety [Fresh Tracks]

Heads up, hip-hop heads! Actually, heads up, pretty much everyone: Producer extraordinare Amerigo Gazaway's latest Soul Mates full-length mashup project, The Trill Is Gone, which features B.B. King and the Underground Kingz, is here!

As always, it's outstanding work, which digs deep into the catalogs of both the late King of the Blues and Bun B and his late MC partner Pimp C, presenting the work of each in new, exciting contexts. Especially noteworthy are a variety of top-shelf UGK collab tracks, like "Int'l Players Anthem" feat. OutKast, "What Means the World to You?" feat. Ludacris and Talib Kweli's "Country Cousins." 

If you've ever argued with a loved one (or, say, Keith Richards) over whether or not hip-hop or other music that works with samples is "art," play this for them after Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Chill with Trill below, and check out Gazaway's guest spot during this Saturday's East Side Shakedown, kicking off at 10 p.m. at The Basement East.
