If you regularly tour the US, you can't escape layovers that sometimes bring crippling overnight stays at the airport, as certain flights are canceled and / or delayed. Someone familiar with such trials is rapper Evidence who broke through with the group Dilated Peoples in the year 2000, along with Rakaa Iriscience and DJ Babu. Given that they do not enjoy commercial success as underground artists,
… the hip-hop formation is forced to earn their living with performances. After four albums with DP, Evidence ventured into a solo career, which got off to a good start with the album The Weatherman LP (2007). A year later, EV, who, through his distinctive rap style, also started Mr. Is called Slow Flow, during a tour on a small project that would actually contain no more than five songs, but eventually turned into a full-fledged album with ten tracks. With the help of friends like The Alchemist, Defari, Blu and Phonte from Little Brother, Evidence has created a snack for the fans that tastes surprisingly good and proves that The Weatherman is productive even during a break.
