This blog wasn't originally intended to be about hip-hop, but i'm willing to throw all the rules out the window on this one...
Teo Blake is a dear friend of ours from the heady days at Sarah Lawrence College. Teo, Jordan and I all studied music together, working in the electronic music studio, taking theory, and playing in ensembles. Now, Teo has just come out with his debut album titled Death To Sambo!
The album, as the name would suggest, explores the damaging effects of racism, stereotypes, and, as Teo explains in this promo video, that myths say more about their creators than of their content.
Sonically, Death To Sambo has great color and variety. With a taste for analog gear groomed into him from his days spent in front of the Moog Modular 55, coupled with contemporary nonlinear production techniques, and his lyrical prowess, Teo Blake could easily blow your mind and your house party into the next level stratosphere.
