[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
Let’s go, back with the force of thousand men
Cop the new album for less than a thousand yen
And vibe to it, cruise in your ride to it
Ain’t nobody else that can do it like I do it kid
See I ain’t the type to pull them things out,
But when I kick a rhyme it might just blow your brains out
A lot of rap is wack, I ain’t calling names out
They fell off, kinda funny, ain’t it strange how
Money changes situation
Flip and rearrange the whole equation
I’m so ill with it they can’t even deal with it
Won’t stop ‘til my crew number one in the nation
Ayo, I don’t really think they know who they up against
Anytime Amerigo & Po linkin up again (facts)
It’s guaranteed, solid, 10 out of 10
Go head, share it, blog it, tell a couple friends
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
One time for the people in front, gettin’ crunk
Here to give you what you want
One time for the people in the back
Hands up, let me see you, where you at?
And one time for the people on the side
Looking shy, is you really trying to vibe?
And one time for the haters
And anybody whoever said that we’d never make it
Napoleon Da Legend: Verse 2]
Out for the bag and a mountain of cash
We out back, in the yard and we counting the stash
The early bird’ll get the worm, so we learned to be fast
Cause the last shall be the first and the first shall be last
Catch whiplash, when you see the whip drive past
They heard the last album I dropped they quit that fast
We some dream chasers switch up my street got new neighbors
Every other week we dropping a new flava
True playa for real, ask somebody who knows
I got name that rings bells with somebody you know
That was a style for last year, now I got a new flow
Was in the rear now I’m stepping at the front of the row
Known as the incredible phenomenal king
Never playing small games I ain’t time for these things
We master plan it mash planet we outlandish
Stamp it, seal it and brand it, I’m a champion
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
One time for the people in front, gettin’ crunk
Here to give you what you want
One time for the people in the back
Hands up, let me see you, where you at?
And one time for the people on the side
Looking shy, is you really trying to vibe?
And one time for the haters
And anybody whoever said that we’d never make it
Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 3]
It ain’t even a question man they already know
Every single mic that I touch turns into gold
I don’t ever hold a grudge or wish death to my foes
I just show ‘em to the door like when the register closed
Yo, don’t let it hit ya where the sun don’t shine
Sometimes you gotta let go of folks and cut those ties
I love music and I do it with the upmost pride
Now get live, let me hear you say it one more time
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
One time for the people in front, gettin’ crunk
Here to give you what you want
One time for the people in the back
Hands up, let me see you, where you at?
And one time for the people on the side
Looking shy, is you really trying to vibe?
And one time for the haters

Produced and performed by Amerigo Gazaway of Soul Mates Records, with additional rap performances from a range of lyricists including Napoleon Da Legend, Dillon and Awon.

amerigo.bandcamp.com/album/cavendish-archive-reimagined-amerigo-gazaway-edition
“As a record collector and hip-hop producer, I’ve always had a special affinity for library and production music from the ‘60’s and ‘70’s (especially the Boosey & Hawkes collection, which many of us DJs and sample hunters have become familiar with on our digging expeditions). While most library records are originally made with the intention of being used in film soundtracks, commercials and TV, they have also become an endless source of inspiration and sample material for some of hip-hop’s greatest producers and crate diggers.
Library music holds a special place in my heart, because I believe it often possesses a certain level of artistic freedom, musicianship, and an experimental quality rarely found in other more traditional forms of music. These were players and artists who were not attempting to make pop radio ‘hits’ - instead they were trying to enhance the overall emotional and narrative elements of the stories being told on-screen.
So when Cavendish Music reached out to me to see if I wanted to delve into their infinitely vast catalog, it was like a producer’s ‘dream come true’ and an offer I couldn’t refuse. To make things a little more interesting, I challenged myself to write original rap lyrics for each track and enlisted a handful of my favorite emcees and collaborators to join me for the ride. I hope you enjoy the results!”
