Boy oh boy, this album looks like it’s going to kick some serious ass. There are plenty of amazing guest appearances on this album, and you know ALC’s production is going to be bomb as hell. Make sure you pick this one up on July 7th and follow me after the jump for the tracklisting. Continue reading
These guys have been on fire as of late, and I don’t foresee them being put out anytime soon. This video is a great look into what both Evidence & Alchemist are feeling these days. Go with them on a day at Amoeba Records and check out the CD’s they are purchasing (Black Milk & Exile), as well as some of the vinyl that they are looking at buying.

Here’s a good one for you guys on 4/20. Here’s a video of Evidence taking a handstand after smoking a bong. It looks like these guys are having a good time in the studio. I sure hope we get to hear the product of this studio session.
Here is another track off of EV’s upcoming project Evidence Radio. This track just so happens to be over my favorite beat on Exile’s album Radio. At this point, I’m thinking that there isn’t anything that Evidence can’t do. Make sure you check out this dope ass track and stay tuned to more news on the Evidence Radio project because you know I’m patiently (or rather impatiently) waiting for it. This project is going to be nothing short of incredible guys, mark my words. This is just more great music from the “Left Coast” for you to bob your head to.
Also if you are lucky enough, make sure you catch Evidence & Alchemist at Rock the Bells this year.

This might be the dopest track I’ve heard Evidence & Alchemist collaborate on, and it makes me want to hear their collabo album even more. The backdrop for this track comes from Exile’s album Radio which dropped this year. According to 2Dopeboyz, Evidence is going to be doing his thing over Exile’s beats off Radio and will be calling the project Evidence’s Radio. EV is just keeps giving me more and more shit to look forward to. I can’t keep saying enough that Evidence is taking over the game one project at a time. Do yourself a favor and check this track out. Did I mention that Alchemist completely slaughters this track?
Download: Step Brothers, “It’s Coming Down”
Here we are with another straight fire laced track by Evidence featuring Fashawn and Alchemist. As you may recall, both of these two emcees complimented Evdience on the original “Far Left“, and “The Far Left 2” is no different. I have to say that out of the three emcees on this track (with no disrespect to any of them) Fashawn steps up his game the most. Fashawn is one of those cats that you are going to be hearing me talk about quite a bit (especially when Boy Wonder drops) in the future.
All of these cats have new projects coming out this year so make sure you watch out for those because every single one of these albums is going to be top fucking quality. “The Far Left” is taking over Hip-Hop this year it seems.
You can download the track here.

It’s always good to see and hear new things about EV in the news. The people over at Vimby caught up with Evidence and discussed a variety of issues, including Cats & Dogs. He also discusses how The LAyover was more of a darker album because of the focus of the content (his mother), and lately he has been finding himself making up beat stuff. I like how he talks about performing his material to the fans (EV PLEASE COME TO MINNESOTA AGAIN), and how a live performance might be able to give even more of a visual. It’s also always good to see EV in the studio with Fashawn because you know he’s going to be huge on the scene soon, and it’s great to see EV bringing him into the spotlight.
Make sure you check out the video and stay tuned to Mind Inversion for all of the latest news on Evidence. Oh and one more thing, if you are still sleeping on The LAyover EP there is no hope for you in this lifetime.
I have to tell you all that this list was one of the hardest things I’ve had to get myself to do, because I knew it wasn’t going to be anywhere near easy. Even while going through this list I had to constantly change things because I felt something was missing. This list (to the best of my abilities) contains the quintessential list of albums that shaped my taste in music. To be put another way, I don’t know where I would be without these albums. I can also say that I feel that each one of these albums is timeless as well a masterpiece. So without further ado…
Top 10 Albums of All-Time (In Order from 10-1)
The Who – Live At Leeds (Deluxe Edition): Honestly I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to this album. I remember buying it in the store years ago, and it cost me just about thirty-five dollars. It may be the best money I’ve ever spent on an album. This album truly shows the pure rock fury of The Who. If you have ever had a doubt in your life as to the legitimacy of The Who, please listen to this album. The original album was released with just 35 minutes of the 120, and this album has all of it. This is one of the greatest live albums of all time, no doubt in my mind. Every single member of The Who sounds precise and musically sound. This also might be the heaviest material you will ever here from The Who. From the rapid fire boulder crashing drums of Keith Moon to the lion roaring vocals of Roger Daltrey this album is everything a live album should be and more… Continue reading
As I’ve mentioned before, Alchemist is one of the best producers in the game right now. Al sat down with the good people of Akai Pro and talked to them about many things, and one of them being how he uses the MPC for production. As many of you may or may not know, Al has been doing tracks for everybody from Mobb Deep to Ludacris in the last 10 years. He is also going to be putting out 3 albums this year (Chemical Warfare, Step Brothers (with Evidence) & Grangrene (with Oh No)) which is a staggering statistic as it is, because everything Al puts out is quality.
The interview probes into a lot of interesting areas of Al’s production. He goes into great detail when he ‘s talking about why legendary producers have always used the MPC for production, but in general he says: “[The] MPC always has and always will be the standard as far as when you’re talking about rap, beats and production. You know, my favorite producers from day one were Premier – MPC. Pete Rock? MPC. Diamond D? MPC. I mean I could go down the list forever. It’s pretty much the standard. It’s good to be able to even follow in those footsteps and keep that tradition going forward. You know, making music that comes out of that machine it sounds crazy.”
Make sure you check out this interview and get all the details because it’s a great insight into the mind of a genius. You can read the original interview here, and make sure you stay tuned to all of the info on the Alchemist’s up and coming projects here on Mind Inversion.
