Hip-Hop Listening Club of the Week #259: Evidence - Weather Or Not (2018)

Posted: 27 Aug 2018 05:54 AM PDT

Welcome to HHH Listening Club!

Today we'll be listening to Weather Or Not by Evidence

Background

From this Pitchfork review

It's been 11 years since Evidence's solo debut, The Weatherman LP. The planet has continued warming, continents have drifted a little further apart and the universe has expanded; all the while, the Dilated Peoples rapper has kept forging the same knuckle-duster boom-bap music that's been his trademark since day one. That's no bad thing. Evidence is like a soccer player who finds space not by running, but by staying still while everyone around him runs. And as his latest solo LP shows, the raw, twisted style he's always favored still feels fresh in 2018.

While the tracklist features production from several old-school-minded luminaries, among the most impressive songs on Weather or Not are a handful of collaborations with Evidence's lifelong friend the Alchemist. Alc's hard-angled instrumentals have acted as a potent backdrop for many gritty East Coast spitters over the years—Action Bronson, 50 Cent, and the sadly departed Prodigy among them—but he's always had a special thing going with Evidence, from the signature songs he produced for Dilated Peoples starting in the late 1990s to Lord Steppington, the full-length LP that the pair released in 2014 under the name Step Brothers. Here, the two early-40s Los Angeles veterans continue to draw strength from the time-honored sounds of the Five Boroughs.
