Yasiin Gaye – Ms. Fat Booty (Soul Mates Remix) [Stream x Download]

“Yasiin Gaye: The Return (Side Two)” coming soon! Amerigo Gazaway’s *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series’ latest installment, Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled “Yasiin Gaye”.
