Gabriel Teodros & SoulChef - Evidence Of Things Not Seen


Gabriel Teodros & SoulChef - Evidence Of Things Not Seen
Releases everywhere on October 28th, available for pre-order now

"a lion with a horn
the hunted with a song
the places you get broken
are the places you get strong"

- from 'Greeny Jungle' off the new album, listen now

There's so much to say I don't even know where to start with this one. This album represents my favorite writing I've ever done on a project thus far, and I've decided to celebrate it's release with a limited-edition book of lyrics you can pick up with the CD at our show in Seattle on November 6th! All purchases of the album from either Bandcamp or iTunes will come with a digital book of lyrics as well. Evidence Of Things Not Seen was entirely produced, mixed & mastered by SoulChef (in Auckland, New Zealand), it features guest spots from Jonathan Emile, ShakiahSarah MK, and I completely recorded the album with a mobile studio I sometimes travel with, at various locations around Seattle, WA; Toronto, ON and Montreal, QC. The brilliant artwork you see above was done by Masood Tahir (in London, UK). If you were into the song "Black Love" then this whole album is for you. I'll let the lyrics say the rest.

If you missed it, I did an interview with KEXP recently where I talked about patriarchy, humanity and stuff... you can check that out here. I also got the opportunity to do a little performance & interview on The Seattle Channel's Art Zone (which also airs on KCTS 9 in Seattle)... you can check that out here.

Finally, this show. I'm so excited about the entire line-up!

Draze "The Hood Ain't The Same"


this video is dope on multiple levels. lyrics, production, style, historical documentation... accuracy.  it really captured an entire era. much respect Draze, Tyrone & Deven.

"used to own our homes, now we're all renters
got folks moving south like birds for the winter
they asked momma to sell her home, she said no
but then we had to shake when them property taxes rose
i know you say you ain't the ones in them white sheets
but these suits and ties are similar to me
don't try to paint me as the black man who's angry
when you gut my community
it's hard to build a legacy" - Draze
