In recent years, countless artists have attempted to bridge the gap between hip-hop and rock, more often than not with disastrous results (I could name names, but… nah.); Booth fave Jared Evan, however, just seems to have that golden touch – having successfully channeled ‘60s garage-rock on debut single In Love With You and Radiohead-esque emotional melodrama on mixtape inclusion Falling Down, the musical Miracle-worker does it yet again with this newly-leaked cut. Premiered earlier today on RefinedHype, the freestyle alum‘s latest offering is closer to a traditional “rap-rock” joint than either of the aforementioned cuts but, crucially, it’s rap-rock done right. Over producer ill Factor‘s fuzzed-out guitar-breakbeat backdrop, the up-and-comer lets his braggadocious side shine, touting his damn-near miraculous skills in larger-than-life-verses before pulling out all the stops for a climactic sung chorus. Think Evan’s speaking the truth when he claims, “I could school the world”? Then keep it locked for release details on Back and Fourth, the official prelude to 2011 debut album Fourth Chapter.

Evan again showcases his diverse skills, alternating between rang and sung vocals with little effort. I've said it before... he has a real shot at becoming a total rock star. Patience, good people around him, and more of this edgy production and that will happen next year.

Well, i really like the rock/rap feel to this. Its a very nice mixtures of genres. Jared has some very true, strong talent. And he shows that strongly on this record. Im really feeling the lyrics of his verses in this, and his flow is very nice. Also i love the energy the songs gives off. The production from illFactor is very strong and i love that aspect of it. This is a banger for me. Keep the good songs comming Jared.

I'm going 4.5 on this. I have only heard 2 tracks from him and he's 2 for 2 with me. Great song and I definitely like the rock rap combo. He's gotta colabo wit a couple of big artists and he's going to explode, probably more towards the rock side. I could see him doin a track wit Kid Rock or Rage Against the Machine.

Love Jared Evan's style. This isn't as good as last single "Falling Down" but still a great song and a great example of his unique ability to bridge a gap between to musical genre's, and do it well.

As Richard alluded to in the write-up, this is how you meld styles. Instead of feeling forced, it's clear Evan feels comfortable in front of the mic and behind the drums.
Mark my words, in a year we'll be talking about his as one of the game's rising stars.

Now that we have been cordially introduced nuff respect to youngin'. I would love to see this attain mainstream acclaim. He may need to do the stereotypical thing and ask Eminem to feature a stupid verse with the same beat, different drop.

I think that I like Evan's ability to rap better than his singing voice. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing, but it's my preference. The production was a nice mixture of rock and hip-hop. Overall, pretty decent track. I'll throw it in rotation.

This is one bad @$$ track. Very few can blend these two genres together and jared channels the strongest elements of each almost seemlessly. Good stuff.

He is a little different but I think I can dig him. I like his smooth voice, and was he rapping. Maybe not the best rapper but it fits the song.
