Evidence & Sick Jacken - Classical

Evidence - Classical ft. Sick Jacken

Producer: Alchemist

Album: Soul Assassins - Intermission

Label: Rhymesayers Ent.

On this newly-leaked cut off the Soul Assassins crew’s Intermission LP, two West Coast vets team up to make a little Classical music—okay, not exactly; though Alchemist‘s unique beat sounds like it could have been inspired by one of Wendy Carlos’ old-school Moog covers of the classical greats, the record’s verses find Dilated Peoples’ Evidence and Psycho Realm rapper Sick Jacken paying tribute to the power of hip-hop. Determined to make mind-expanding music for the streets regardless of whether it brings him fame and fortune, Jacken turns in an opener that will have listeners nodding along, but Evidence sounds a little more at home over the instrumental (unsurprisingly, considering how far he and Alchemist go back), and his poetically dense second verse is the arguable highlight. Intermission, a collaborative album featuring underground talent from all over the hip-hop map, is set to hit record shops and online retailers June 23rd.

cb126405 DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1624	Rating: cb126405's Top Rated Songs This didn't have a big Westcoast vibe on it like I thought it would. Overall a little boring, but I can still dig it and respect it. Not my favorite though, I didn't really dig the artist or production. Those moans in the background sounded really similar to those in Outkast's 'Poppin Tags'

Juanito_88 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1077	Rating: Juanito_88's Top Rated Songs This is DEF respected by me, I love the strange vibe and the use of samples in the production. The gritty verses are real tight, but like Mr. Top Hat said sound a little off over the beat. Cool track, but not for me.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11866	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs This is one of those records that you either dig or you don't. This is not mainstream hip hop. This is straight underground, appreciate it or not. I do. Can't say I would go out and buy the new album, but I am anxious to hear what these emcees have in store. Follow @DJBooth

PattyPatty85 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 3217	Rating: PattyPatty85's Top Rated Songs I unfortunately don't know the difference between mainstream hip hop, underground music etc, I only rely on my own ears lol! I'm really digging this, the music is supreme, it gives me shivers, it is sooo weird. His flow is ok but I would be enjoying this song even if he shut up! To me it's a banger
