Abyssinian Creole is a hip hop duo composed of Khingz and Gabriel Teodros.〔("My Philosophy" by Larry Mizell Jr ). The Stranger. December 1, 2005.〕 ==History== The MC's of Abyssinian Creole met each other in 1999. Khingz (who was then known as Khalil Crisis) was in a live band called Maroon Colony, and Gabriel Teodros was in a live band called 500 Years. The 2 groups began sharing bills together all over Seattle and the 2 MC's also began working with a community organization called Youth Undoing Institutionalized Racism. In 2001, YUIR sent them to a conference in New Orleans, and it was there that Teodros and Khingz saw how much they had in common outside of music. They formed the group Abyssinian Creole to both represent their peoples and the bridges between them.〔(Gabriel Teodros (of Abyssinian Creole) - interview by Todd E. Jones ). Insomniac Magazine. December 19, 2006.〕 DJ WD4D and producer Kitone joined the group separately years later.〔("Gabriel Teodros - Biography" by Cyril Cordor ). Allmusic.〕 In 2005 Abyssinian Creole released their first album, entitled ''Sexy Beast'',〔 an album that gave expression to the post-1990s cosmopolitanism thriving in South Seattle.〔( "Let 'Lovework' Rule" by Charles Mudede ). The Stranger. February 27, 2007.〕 The albums featured guests included Moka Only, Geologic of Blue Scholars and Macklemore.〔 What ''Sexy Beast'' made apparent was the diversity of Northwest hiphop: It can come from anywhere (East Africa, Haiti) and be about anything (love, immigration, meditation).〔("Up & Coming" by Charles Mudede ). The Stranger. January 10, 2008.〕 In 2006, Good Medicine was formed: a four-person group composed of Abyssinian Creole, Macklemore and Geologic of Blue Scholars.
