Big salute to Okayplayer for including my Nina Simone x Lauryn Hill project “The Miseducation of Eunice Waymon“ as one of their Best Mashups of 2018. Here’s what they had to say about it:
“ForĀ Amerigo Gazaway, the art of the mash-up is more than just pitch and pace adjustments. The sample-splicing specialist has helmed some of the sub-genreās most meticulous melds, reconstructing timeless discographies into intricate decade-spanning tapestries. On his latest,Ā The MiseducationĀ of Eunice Waymon,Ā Gazaway carefully interlays a highlight reel ofĀ Lauryn Hillās most moving performances ā as both solo artist and The Fugeesā not-so-secret weapon ā into a lush and soulful bed of Nina Simone chops. Forged of equal parts blues and boom bap, Gazaway erects an altar to a pair of unflinching legacies, closing the gap between their tenures on the throne.” – Okayplayer
