Last year, while on tour with Little Brother, Evidence had an epiphany. Instead of just crafting a 5-song “side project” with friend and producer Khrysis, the Dilated Peoples member decided to spin a simple, original concept into a brand new EP; on November 25, the graffiti artist-turned-emcee will unleash The Layover. Inspired by the success of past EPs from the likes of Pete Rock & CL Smooth (All Souled Out) and Ice Cube (Kill at Will), Evidence will release the project, hoping to tide fans over till his second full-length solo project, entitled Cats & Dogs, drops next spring. The EP’s first single, For Whom The Bell Tolls, features guest verses by Phonte (of Little Brother) and Blu, and a catchy hook from producer/artist will.i.am.

The production was fire! At least for me. There flows were a bit boring though.

Dang! I was excited to listen to this! Evidence, Phote and BLU on the SAME TRACK! I can't believe it! The production is mad ill. Will spazzed on the abstract hook. Phonte served it up as usual. Evidence always catches my listening attention with his distinct voice and presence. I know why Blu went last! HE SMASHED THE TRACK! If you haven't, please go get "Below the Heavens"...one of the hottest hip hop albums EVER! That Obama line was deep! I felt the track needed a little something extra, like some background vocals or something hitting harder in the production, but it's definitely a solid track. I'm loving it. It's a banger!
I do agree if everyone's verse had of been more exciting, this would have been an instant classic! |

They actually used bells on the production! Sick!!! It coulda been done by Dr. Dre! The background music is mesmerizing... (I still urge you guys to try listening to the songs with "in ear" phones at least once) The chorus fits the beat perfectly. First and last verses had the best flows, but they all delivered nice lyrics.

This song has a very original production, I'm felling the bells...they were boring, though. I completely quote unlucky! I don't think I'll listen to this again but it's great

Really good song, just not hitting it for me right up; production is great, though, and the rappers are awesome. Thing is, i won't listen to this much, so its just rounded down 3.5*

I have good taste for hip hop fam, definitely. It's a banger, but not classic status to me, cuz I felt it lacked a little something. You want classic though? Blu's album "Below the Heavens". That's a five star classic!
