Brotha Lynch Hung Live @Crocodile 6/4/19

Growing up in the 90’s Gangsta rap was a huge thing for people that lived it or just wanted to listen to the stories told by the people who either saw it or lived it themselves. To see this artist touring was not only great but also to see Mr. Lynch at the Crocodile in Seattle, WA was even better. This venue is located in Belltown and the venue has been home to many 90’s grunge artists who caught their big break from there. It has an upper deck and lower main area that anyone can go to and from. Lynch put on a great show, new songs and classic ones from his earlier albums. He interacted with the crowd doing handshakes as he sent the lyrics into the ears of the audience. He showed up in sweat pants displaying he is still Brotha Lynch from the Garden Blocc. Lots of these 90’s rappers never made it very far when they stayed in the gang life but it’s reported that Lynch is one of the few to leave the gang life behind and then rap about the stories he may or may have not lived or seen. Lynch also is one of the originators of “horrorcore” which is a rap style that comes off evil and sick to some, not just killing people but dismembering and rapes with guns. However many of his classic tracks were blasting thru the speakers of many youth then and to this day, great show and glad to say I was there.

Selah Sue Live @Crocodile 8/21/13

The original Crocodile is known for giving many of Seattle’s 90’s grunge bands their big break and the new location has been around for some years is no different. That being said, you need to hear this woman. I was walking by Crocodile years ago and heard her voice from outside. I paid my $20 and walked in. Big bee-hive hair on this pretty Belgian girl. She has such an interesting voice I can’t even put it into words so just check her out online. Songs like “This World” or “Raggamuffin” are among favorites on her self titled debut album which was a major success overseas. I hope to see more of her in the states and now you know about her so keep “Crazy Vibes” going.

Jessie Reyez Live @Crocodile 10/15/18

Great venue in Seattle where many 90’s rockers had their first decent size gig before their big break. Open floor with an upper deck to the right and pass through to a Pizza spot next door. Jessie is all being all the way from deep East Canada I couldn’t miss this. She is beautiful and very vocally inclined. She isn’t lazy on stage at all running around hyping the crowd up as she belts out the lyrics of songs like “Figures” which is about the thought of losing someone you took for granted and what a person could do for revenge only if they wanted to. But they don’t. She has great live and a true performer.

Savannah Re Live @Crocodile 10/15/18

This woman has an amazing voice all the way from Toronto Canada and opened for Jessie Reyes. I remember talking with some friends and heard this enchanting voice thinking it was being played over the speakers by a DJ. I thought is that her? Is it? Yep it was all her and she carried the room any direction she wanted with her vocals. In this picture here she is doing a cover of 50 cent ‘Many Men” and it was out of this world amazing, the lyrics had amplified meaning and she sang it like it was hers. Sounded great. This venue is a local Staple for Seattle. It’s previous location was a few miles away but back in the 90’s grunge era Crocodile was where all of the artists went before their big break. It all starts at the crocodile and the new location is no different so check out this venue and you will be pleased.
