This week we’re joined by underground rap legend Evidence. One half of Step Brothers with The Alchemist and member of Dilated Peoples, EV is a man who’s carved out his own space while produce with the likes of Kanye West (and win a Grammy while doing so). The conversation got deep and insightful, touching on…
️ Being good at baseball as a kid (3:30)? Growing up with and learning from QD III (Quincy Jones’ son)
? How will.i.am came up with his MC name
? How he crafted his unique flow and evolved his style publicly
? Growing up with Alchemist, future Step Bros projects and breaking down their creative partnership (14:40)
⛈ Looking back to his Weatherman LP
? How watching Rapper Big Pooh (Little Brother) with his fans inspired him to make a solo record (17.50)
? Balancing making music that’s honest, and not being a torch holder for painful emo rap
? Working with Brother Ali and making Secrets and Escapes (27:30)
? Why it’s time to end the Weatherman theme (37:00)
? Speaks on the growth on his new ‘stripped down’ record
? Which 90s posse cut he’d jump on
? The 90s recording session he wished he could’ve sat in on
