Spin Amerigo Gazaway's Stevie Wonder/Common Mash-Up A Common Wonder [Fresh Tracks]

By now, you hopefully know Amerigo Gazaway's Soul Mates project very well. But in case it's new to you, it's an ongoing series of releases where the master DJ/producer and sometime MC uses deep research and meticulous sampling techniques to create imaginary collaborations between legendary hip-hop and soul or R&B artists — some superb examples include 2015's The Trill Is Gone, which put UGK in the studio with B.B. King, and the Tribe Called Quest/Pharcyde project Bizarre Tribe: A Quest to the Pharcyde, put together under the auspices of Gazaway's former partnership with Wally Clark in Gummy Soul and famously scrubbed from the web after a heavy-handed response from Sony.

Gazaway's back at it with a project that combines the talents of Common and Stevie Wonder. It's a little bit of a departure in that the two have worked together (as The Find points out, see the title track from Common's 2016 record Black America Again and the accompanying short film) but these particular works of genius are straight from the mind of Gazaway. Get ahold of a copy via Bandcamp below, and dig into recombinations of "Sugar" and "Soul By the Pound," a completely new beat for "South Side," which features Kanye West, and many more.
