The LAyover EP drops today and suffice to say I already have my copy. Musically he goes back to the roots, therefore unlearning what he has learned during his music making career to produce raw and honest music.What can I say? You people that have been reading this blog, have been listening to me blabber about Evidence from day one. In this album Evidence shares personal stories. In 2021, Evidence released his fourth studio album "Unlearning Vol.1". It covers his personal life in great detail, including the birth of his first son and his partner's battle with breast cancer. It debuted at number 187 on the Billboard 200. As of July 2015 he had around five songs recorded, and the album was to be submitted for mastering no later than January 16.Įvidence's third studio album, Weather or Not, was released on January 26, 2018. Evidence confirmed that DJ Babu and Alchemist will feature on the record. In an interview with Hip-Hop Kings at the 2015 Fresh Island Festival, Evidence confirmed he would be releasing a new solo album in 2016 via Rhymesayers. In an emotional interview on Conspiracy Worldwide Radio, Evidence discussed his 2011 projects, including the status of Dilated Peoples, a future DJ Premier collaboration and citing the problems he had with the internet releasing his music before he does. The album won 2011 HHUG Best Album of the Year. An album sampler mixed by DJ Babu was released as well. The album charted at number 64 on the Billboard 200, making it his first album to appear on the chart. Įvidence's second studio album, Cats & Dogs, was released on September 27, 2011. On Jit was announced that Evidence had signed a deal with Minneapolis-based hip-hop label Rhymesayers Entertainment, with a YouTube video showing Evidence signing the contract to release his next album. I am not married I don't have kids, so I can stay on the road all year long if that is what it takes…so at the end of the day what I put in is what I get out and it will all be a reflection of me, Evidence."Įvidence is also planning to come out with an album with producer/rapper The Alchemist and are to be called the "Step Brothers". On the release of The Weatherman LP, Evidence said: "I am not relying on the success of Dilated Peoples to push this album, while they are featured on it and heavily co-signing my solo venture I understand that I am going to have to work twice as hard and get back in front of the people and re-introduce myself through shows, my music, and constant day-to-day networking with my fans. "It's the one time you're definitely going to get all of me." "I produced it, I rapped on it and I recorded it by myself with nobody in the room because I couldn't have anybody around when I was doing it," he explains. Writing and performing "I Still Love You" was emotionally challenging for Evidence, a single child whose mother was his best friend and confidante. Perretta was close with his mother "I Still Love You" and "Chase The Clouds Away" are both tributes to her. With production from The Alchemist, Sid Roams (producers Joey Chavez and Tavish "Bravo" Graham), Jake One, DJ Babu, DJ Khalil, and Evidence himself, the album The Weatherman LP was released March 20, 2007.

I want to be a leader and carve out a new path." "If I'm going to come out independently and have the freedom to do what I want, there's no better way to represent. "This is for people who get what I do," says Evidence. Through his work as one-third of Dilated Peoples, Evidence became a champion of hip-hop culture. They hoped their success would serve as a platform for solo projects, much as the Wu-Tang Clan's success had done before them.įour albums, and outside production work-including tracks for the Beastie Boys, Linkin Park, Swollen Members, Defari, Planet Asia and co-production on Kanye West's debut album The College Dropout, which earned him a Grammy, Evidence gave his fans a taste of his talent on his debut solo album, The Weatherman LP (ABB Records).Įvidence also made a track directed at Eminem called "Search 4 Bobby Fisher" during a feud. Shortly after meeting QD3, Evidence teamed with the like-minded Rakaa to form the group Dilated Peoples and after the success of their 1997 single "Third Degree" b/w "Confidence" and "Global Dynamics" on ABB Records – and the addition of DJ Babu to the fold a year later-the group quickly became a fixture on the hip hop tour circuit. He learned the ins and outs of recording and emceeing there.
