Today I'm gonna talk about Evidence, Italian American rapper from Los Angeles, California.
Born of an Italian father and a Polish-American mother as Michael Perretta on December 10, 1976, Evidence started his career in the late 1980's in the beautiful city of Venice Beach, doing both rap and graffiti.
In the early 90's he teamed up with producer DJ Babu and rapper Rakaa to form the group "Dilated Peoples", which reached great success in the underground circuit by the end of the decade especially after the releases of "Third Degree" and "Work The Angles" (under ABB Records).
Dilated Peoples has so far released 5 albums, within 2000 and 2007.During his work with Dilated Peoples, Evidence became a champion of hip-hop culture. "This is for people who get what I do. If I'm going to come out independently and have the freedom to do what I want, there's no better way to represent. I want to be a leader and carve out a new path." his personal statement.
Apart from "Dilated Peoples" Evidence started his solo career in 2007 with the release of the album "The Weatherman LP" containing productions of The Alchemist, Jake One, DJ Babu, DJ Khalil, and Evidence himself.
The album reached #42 in Billboard Indipendent Albums!
Four years have passed since then, and Evidence has decided to release a new album... with a new label, the famous Minneapolis based "Rhymesayers".
Available on iTunes in both normal and Deluxe edition, the album contains 19 tracks (17 in the normal edition) produced by The Alchemist, Twiz the Beat Pro, Evidence, Rahki, Sid Roams, DJ Babu, Statik Selektah, Charli Brown, and historical New York hip hop producer DJ Premier.
The peculiarity of the album is the reality of the arguments described, that fuse easily with the different beats, giving the whole concept an underground taste but with a mainstream sound clash.
Numerous artists feature the tracks starting with Aloe Blacc ("I Need a Dollar) in the first track, and then continuing with Raekwon, Ras Kass, Roc Marciano, Prodigy, Slug, Aesop Rock, Rakaa, Lil' Fame, Termanology, and Fashawn.
My personal advice is to buy this album, and to listen it carefully, you won't ever get tired of it!
The first single extracted is "You" produced by DJ Premier.
