Evidence has taken a minute to drop his new album Cats & Dogs, but he promises it will land in stores by the end of summer. The Rhymesayers recording artist recently revealed that the album is finished and that in addition to producing a few cuts of his own, he has two tracks touting production from DJ Premier.
“Release date is really close and I have an album that’s done that I’m really proud of. It’s just I’ll know in a couple of days,” Ev told Parker Report’s Mr. Peter Parker. “The album’s done. I have two tracks from DJ Premier. That should be enough information.”
As for the album’s delay, he explained that it wasn’t a dry spell that kept him from putting out the follow-up to 2008’s The Layover EP. “The music wasn’t really the cause for delay. It was some personal shit in my life, and as a man, it could happen to anybody,” he continued. “The fact that I’m smiling and that I came out clean on the other end is a beautiful fucking thing and I can’t wait to see y’all.”
Ev previously told HipHopDX that the album will be a “monster.” “In the process, I learned a lot of things about myself this year and I made a monster record, I feel. It’s going to drop right on time, dropping at the end of summer. I’m going to do some big shows with Atmosphere, Rock the Bells and a couple things after that, which I’ll be announcing soon.”

Evidence is a cool guy, I will be buying cats and dogs on the first day!!!!! I LOVED THE BEATLES samples on “I DON’T NEED LOVE” ep. Really fresh music!

Although I could never get into The Dilated People as a group, I’ve liked just about everything EV has dropped. “Cats & Dogs” is gonna be a mandatory add on to my collection. Keep it coming Mr. Slow Flow.

hell naw ev, rae, and ras kass on one song?
evidence is that dude. i love the dilated shit, but ev as a solo artist is a whole nother animal. all about the vibes, the weatherman lp was fucking dope. front to back, a satisfying listen. prodigy, ras kass, raekwon, and alchemsit? instant buy. rhymesayers, all about the business. sluggo is a real champion in indy music. i just wish it had production credits. i know premier, sid roams, and alc, will be providing beats. this is a sure thing. can’t wait to support. peace EV!
Ev is dope.. def coppin his album
Another album dropping September 27th daaam what a day
It’s official; they’re all trying to make us go broke on September 27th lol
Looks great. Damns, it’s been over 4 years since The Weatherman LP was released? Unbelievable how fast time flies.
Dope but why is track 13 missing??
It’s not DX’s fault. They wrote it as they saw it on http://www.rhymesayers.com/news/evidence_to_drop_highly_anticipated_rhymesayers_debut_cats_dogs_on_september_27th
gimme that shit! Wasnt expecting the Wu to be repping!
this shit looks sick!
Dope, hopefully him & Eso still drop Magic vs. Bird at some point in my life
Evidence is mad underrated yo. All his solo work so far has been solid. Looking forward to Cats & Dogs.
Hoping to see something dedicated to Eyedea.. Or even some old unheard verses on a dope beat.
