Rhymsayers Entertainment artist Evidence is lyrically thriving in good company on the follow-up project to his 2018 fan-acclaimed Weather Or Not album.
On Friday, (June 25), Evidence delivered his 14-track Unlearning Vol. 1 album featuring production from himself along with contributions from The Alchemist, Mr. Green, EARDRUM and numerous others.
Evidence also connects with Griselda MC’s Conway The Machine and Boldy James on Unlearning Vol. 1, while also pulling his own weight on collaborations with Fly Anakin, Navy Blue, and Murkage Dave.
In celebration of the release, Evidence shared the visual for the album track “Where We Going From Here…” featuring dreary views from Venice Beach coupled with his sharpened flows and baritone raps.
“Nothing’s fun for self, so I only call my homies when I don’t need help,” he raps in the opening verse.
Earlier this month, Evidence spoke to HipHopDX about his experience collaborating with Kanye West and more and described how the release of Unlearning Vol. 1 is a restart of sorts for his creative journey.
“It’s my re-introduction weirdly,” he began. “I feel like it’s my demo. I got to strip it back; it’s not unlike what happens at the beginning of a career, when someone starts out, you know, not recording in the big studios. They graduate, and they make bigger things. I kept that mentality for this … there’s a lot of big steps for me, but they’re more in the details. It’s not like I’m just making some whole new sound of music. It’s just different choices that I made.”
Despite His Coveted Kanye West Feature, Evidence Has A 'Bigger Picture' For His Music

Good album. Ev matched the beats to his mr. slow flow delivery this time. There are no standout flashy or aggressive songs on here but that way we get a cohesive body of work, which I like many much
Are you insane?! Lost in Time is one of the beat tracks on here. The whole project is a 10, but LIT is one of the stand out track bar none.
Dope album
As a LA native, I never really listened to Evidence that much, but I randomly listened to this album on tidal last night. This is a very good hip-hop album. So far I’ve listened to it 5 times front to back and I would give it 4 – 4.5. Definitely one of the best albums I’ve listened to this year. Production alone is worth the purchased.
