EVIDENCE – Unlearning Vol. 2 – LP – Black Vinyl

LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl.

On the opening track of Unlearning Vol. 2, his fifth solo album, Evidence starts by breaking patterns. Set the autopilot, cruising speed, he saysa line that evokes his signature laid-back flow. But instead of coasting, the Venice native chooses disruption. Thats a setup for a punch to land with true indeed, he continues, setting the tone for an album thats less about comfort and moreabout transformation. The tracks title, Plans Change, couldnt be more fitting.

Since his emergence with Dilated Peoples, Evidence has always exuded a cool, effortless control. But Unlearning Vol. 2, like its 2021 predecessor, rejects any slide into legacy status. Its not just a stylistic pivotits a deeper, more introspective journey, one rooted in technical mastery but driven by instinct and curiosity.Instead of recycling past glories, Evidence explores rawer emotional terrain, crafting a sound thats both grounded and experimental.

The production casts a hypnotic spell with tracks like Sebb Bashs harrowing Seeing Double, C-Lances nostalgic Top Seeded, and Evidences own eerie Greatest Motivation. Yet his voice remains the anchor, cutting through the haze with precision and depth. Tracks like Nothings Perfect show his lyrical agility, while Laughing Last blends stoicism and vulnerability in reflections on family and loss. Collaborators span erasThe Alchemist, DJ Babu, Blu, Domo Genesis, Larry June, Conductor Williams and moreyet the project stays unified by a core ethos: to reinvent, to recontextualize, and to turn pain into purpose through creativity.
