What We Leave Behind

Hmmm... There’s not a lot of information about this record in the museum encyclopedia.

This TOWN LOVE website was created in 2021 as a pandemic-era project. It was a volunteer-led effort to help document and celebrate the complete history of Northwest hip-hop between the years 1981 and 2020. This public archive we built is now available for free online for everyone to read and explore.

If you'd like to contribute, and you know something about this particular record--a story, a memory, or a favorite lyric--please email us a short write-up, and we’ll add your thoughts to the archive when we get the chance.

Thanks for your help in preserving the history of our scene!

Children of The Dragon

Gabriel Teodros’ new album, produced entirely by AirMe, is a mature, restrained, and beautiful record. It’s his most solid work to date, pushing hip-hop forward as few can. I hadn’t heard about this release until only a couple of nights ago. Since then, I’ve been enjoying this surprise immensely. For those familiar with this particular Seattle cat, suffice to say it won’t disappoint; for those new to Mr. Teodros, it’s a perfect place to jump in. His work has always demonstrated a passion for the art like few others, and here it shines distilled and crystal clear. Truly, this is a work of beauty. (This review originally appeared on the Bring That Beat Back blog and was written by Jack Devo.)
