I've been a Gabriel Teodros fan since I copped his 2007 album, Lovework. Check out the song below that drew me in. His new album , Colored People's Time Machine comes highly touted by the folks at 206Up and we couldn't agree more. Gabriel Teodros - Lovework

Fitz & The Tantrums at Bumbershoot Music Lounge photo by Dave Lichterman We finally got snow in Seattle! For those brave enough to venture out in the wintery elements, this week has a few notable options. On Wednesday The Wailers bring their legendary Reggae act to Neumo's - this is a chance to get up close to some true living legends. Thursday has another great show at Neumo's with Youth Lagoon coming out of hibernation, Shaprece and Reva DeVito bring their unique Northwest flair to the Crocodile, while Gabriel Teodros [...]
Back in 2007, Gabriel Teodros made his full-length debut with Lovework . Despite his sometimes awkward flow, this Seattle MC has a message worth listening to. For his highly awaited follow-up, Colored People's Time Machine, which I am only hearing about now, Teodros unveils the Barni Qaasim and Shadi Rahimi directed visuals to "Blossoms of Fire". There is little improvement on the delivery/personality standpoint for Teodros, but the lyrical content and Bean One production is what pulls it all together. Colored People's Time Machine is set to drop Jan. 19 via Fresh Chopped Beats/MADK Productions. [...]
Since I've received a number of notices of the local music community coming together to have benefit shows where the proceeds are going to the humanitarian effort in Haiti, I thought I'd put together a super post of posters and dates of the various events going on. I love that the local music community isn't [...]

Eternia travels to Mexico City to perform w/ Mexico's well renowned veteran MC, Bocafloja. Fans line-up around the corner by 2pm, & the sold out show literally SHUTS THE CITY DOWN when there's a power outage for 2 hrs. E is joined by Gabriel Teodros (Seattle) & Para La Gente (The Bay) in this unforgettable experience of a lifetime. "Quilombo! Mocambo!"
Let's begin with the fact that the track listing is all fucked up on here and I can easily say that after a while I gave up trying to figure out what was going on and just enjoyed the music. If a consumer was to simply catch an earful of this... [More after the jump...]
This group seems concerned with not the just the state of the nation, but that of music and hip-hop in particular. Though the focus isn't only on that culture, the self assured stance and performance of the group sets them apart from their contemporaries as well as Sabzi 's other group, Blue Scholars (at least on earlier releases). While there is a difference between Common Market and others right now, they aren't actually advancing the music. Instead Common Market is contented with further defining a movement that began almost thirty years ago. [...]

James Yorkston - The Brussels Rambler (Domino 2006) James Yorkston – The Year of the Leopard / Domino If there was ever a perfect time for listening to James Yorkston's third proper full-length, it's right now as I sit in my frostbitten apartment with the lights cut off and the blinds pulled way up to take advantage of the back-alley street light for ambiance (a setting that surely amplifies any pleasant mood). The sky has a just-folded-blanket-like smoothness to it and the moon is appropriately cuddled away inside [...]
