Evidence‘s Rhymesayers debut will be called Cats & Dogs, and is slated for 2010 release.
Last year, the Venice, California-based artist released The Layover EP on Decon Records, which featured Blu, will.i.am and others. In addition to the LP companion to the ’08 EP, Evidence and longtime friend and collaborator Alchemist are said to be at work on a Step Brothers project.

But we put the name to it, and I thought it was a good idea,” Alchemist told DX last October.
