It seems like just about everything I post these days has a mention of Evidence. In this case it’s no different, but this time he is featuring for another artist named Fashawn from the Cali area. I first heard this guy when Evidence put out his video for “The Far Left” (off the LAyover EP). This guy definitely can do his thing on the mic, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him popping up in a lot more. He released a free mixtape called: One Shot Kill Mixtape (click the link for free download), and his debut album is going to be produced entirely by DJ Exile, who if you remember did the album Below The Heavens last year with Blu. Check this vid out and go check out Fashawn to, you should see a lot more of him sooner than later.

Well here we are 20 days away from the LAyover EP, and EV and DJ Skee were gracious enough to drop this free mixtape on us. The Mixtape itself has 20 tracks on it and looks like a total banger, it has guest appearances from Phonte, Blu, Will.I.Am., Big Pooh, Aloe Blacc, Rakaa & others. Go grab this shit, it’s free and I garantee you are going to love it. After you listen to this you are going to fiend for the LAyover EP.

Well here we are folks two tracks into the LAoyver EP and I already feel like it’s going to consume my entire life come the 25th. I really don’t need to say much about EV I think I’ve already done all the talking I need to. This guy is incredible. Listen to this track because the beat knocks like Halloween and the rhymes are air tight.

Video: Evidence, “The Layover”

Evidence (of Dilated Peoples) released his world premier video for his first single off of the LAyover EP “The LAyover”. The video was produced by Jason Goldwatch,who has done work for acts such as Ludacris, Dilated Peoples & Young Jeezy,and is definitely a great representation of LAX. This video does this song great justice and it’s a great way to start the hype for the LAyover EP which is due out on Decon Media on Novemeber 25th. You are going to hear me talk about that date a lot because I am waiting for it with great anticipation.

EV is one of those guys that has been working his ass off and deserves all of the credit that he gets, I honestly think there are only a few people in the game that have been putting in as much work as him. The one thing that I really like about EV is that when he initially came out with the Weatherman LP, he wasn’t trying to use the Dilated fame, he was trying to do everything by himself. Look out for that LAoyver Mixtape to due out real soon, and you know I will have a link up for that when the time comes.

You all should go out and grab Duck Season 3 by DJ Babu while you’re at it, shit is fire (review coming soon)!

Evidence: “For Whom The Bell Tolls” (Featuring: Phonte, Blu and Will.I.Am)

Yet again the folks over at Okayplayer brightened my day after a long day at work. I checked my handy RSS feed to find that Evidence dropped yet another track off The Layover EP. This track is absolutely ridiculous, it’s produced by North Carolina native Khrysis (who has done tracks for Little Brother in the past) and features Phonte, Blu & Will.I.Am. Blu is one of those emcees that you only hear once in your lifetime, and he completely murders his verse on this track (I will have a review of the Blu and Mainframe project Johnson&Jonson later this week). If none of you have ever heard of Blu please go out and get Below the Heavens which was a duo with Dj Exile not to mention one of the best albums of last year. Phonte is great on the track, and Evidence as always kills the beat with that laid back EV sound. I have heard two tracks off of this and am already itching for this EP like crack. I can’t wait for the day of my contentment which will be November 25th when this EP drops. PLEASE go out and get The Layover EP when it comes out, it will NOT disappoint. The Layover EP will be accompanied by a DVD for 6 or 7 videos (still to be determined) out of the 9 songs on the EP.

For now listen to this:

Evidence: The Layover

Posted in Music News with tags , , on Wednesday, October 8, 2008 by Tim Althaus

Evidence released his single titled “The Layover” from his forthcoming EP called The Layover EP today and judging by the sounds of it EV is going to be putting out more material that is going to make its mark. Evidence has been one of the hardest working cats in the Hip-Hop game over the last year. He is putting out a free mixtape (The Layover Mixtape) sometime this month, The Layover EP (Due out November 25th), Cats & Dogs (His new album due out next year) and there is a new Dilated Peoples album in the works for next year. Evidence made his mark on the scene as a solo artist last year with the critically acclaimed The Weatherman LP which was easily my favorite album of last year and featured the songs: Mr. Slow Flow and Chase The Clouds Away. All of the “layover” material coming out in the next few months is supposed to “hold us over” until next year when his new album comes out. To be honest I have been patiently waiting until he puts out more material. Evidence is quickly rising to the top of my favorite artists in the game.
