Who’s the one that’s writing a review of the new Evidence single? Me. And who’s the one that’s about to listen to the new Evidence single? That’d be You. I mean, unless you refrain from clicking “play” just to prove me wrong—but is it really worth passing up a record as dope as this DJ Premier-produced banger? Manning the boards in addition to starring in the cut’s radio-show intro, Primo flips Mavis Staples’ cover of Sam Cooke’s classic love ballad, You Send Me, into a bass-bumping backdrop for the Dilated Peoples emcee’s scorching bars. In verses that drip wiith self-assured swagger, the Los Angles mainstay informs his rivals that the top spot is occupied—and he doesn’t neglect to lord his place of prominence over the competition: “One’s a lonely number, two’s the first loser / So how the f*ck can you win? Become a drug abuser / Slappin’ these beats, I’m no snoozer / Six million ways to die, go ahead and choose one.” So readers, does this bold and arrogant banger leave you fiending for more? You’re in luck—while Rhymesayers plans to release Cats & Dogs on September 27, fans can get a taste of the project (which will ultimately be available for purchase in the Booth) via the DJ Babu-mixed album sampler, available here for free streaming.

I've been a fan of Evidence for years, so its great to see him finally getting some quality pub these days. This new album is primed to be his best solo work to date. When Premo backs you nothing else needs to be written. (Although, I could have done without the waste of time intro.)

I'm not too familiar with Dilated Peoples, but I thought that Evidence carried himself very well over the nice production. Looking forward to more.

The flow worked well with the production from Premier, I thought he stayed on point and it was solid but not great all around.

Evidence, to release the pain, put the needle to the record not the needle to vein

Ha Evidence always spits fire and the production was beast. Underground hiphop is true hiphop unlike mainstream.
