After dropping videos for almost every track off his excellent Layover EP, Ev is back with what I believe is the final clip for the project. As expected, this one doesn’t disappoint either. When has Decon ever steered you wrong on the visuals (or anywhere else for that matter)?
(I was going to point out that it’s NSFW, but that’s obvious. Besides, my European side was like “what’s the big deal?”)
I believe this is the 3rd to last video scheduled for Ev’s Layover EP, but I’m not sure what the next one will be. The final (and only ‘big-budget’) clip will be “For Whom The Bell Tolls,” which will be shot at the start of December. If you want to hear more info about Ev’s projects, be sure to peep that interview I did with him and Alchemist a few weeks back right here.
Yo. Ev is killing it right now. The latest video from his upcoming Layover EP features Defari and it’s yet another dope clip. Be sure to listen to the interview I recorded with Ev and Alchemist about the whole project and why they’re releasing so many videos for it. We also talked about how hungry he is these days, which is clearly evident, no pun, in these clips. Cop the Layover on the 25th!
Like I mentioned a while back, I got a chance to catch up with the homies Evidence (of Dilated Peoples) and Alchemist when they came to Seattle at the start of the month for the “Still High” tour with Red & Meth. We’ve had both dudes on Sound Sessiona few times before, but this was the first occasion where they came through together. Every time I chop it up with Ev and Al, they’re cool as hell.
This time around, we talked all about their current projects, including Evidence’s Layover EP, Alchemist’s Alchemist Cookbook (which drops online today!), Al’s Gang Green album with Oh No, and their Stepbrothers group effort. They also touched on how new media has affected their careers, the recent West Coast resurgence, who they list as dream collaborations, and much more. Peep that:
Go grab Al’s Alchemist Cookbook at your favorite digital retailer and be sure to cop The Layover EP a week from today. If you’ve been staying up to date on the videos so far, you know it’s crazy…
Another video from Ev’s LayoverEP dropping on the 25th. I’ll be posting up an interview later today that I did with the homies Ev and Al when they were in town a few weeks ago, where you can hear ’em talk about all the dope projects they have coming up. And no, we didn’t talk about what it’s like to look mildly similar. [jada] ah-HAAAA [/jada]
I just spent last night chilling with the homies Evidence and Alchemist during the Seattle stop of the “Still High” tour with Method Man, Redman, and Termanology (what up Term & Dan!). We recorded a dope interview where they both broke down all the various projects their working on, but it may take a minute for me to toss that up online. In the meantime, peep the new video for “The Far Left” featuring Al and Fashawn from Ev’s Layover EP , dropping on Nov. 25th. Ev said they’ll be releasing videos for 7 of the 9 tracks on there, and so far we’re on #2 (if you missed #1, peep “The Layover”). Fashawn will also be dropping visuals for his “Our Way” joint with Ev verrrrrrrry soon too.
Also, to tide you over, check out The Layover Mixtape that Ev put together with DJ Skee. Guests include Defari, Chace Infinite, Fashawn, U-N-I, Big Pooh, Aloe Blacc, Theo, Crooked I, Strong Arm Steady, Bishop Lamont, Casual, Alchemist, and more.
What better place for Ev to shoot visuals for “The Layover” than at an airport? I was waiting for that final scene to happen the entire time I was watching it hahah. Ev’s EP drops on Nov. 25th and you already know it’s gonna be fire. He’ll be in Seattle soon, so look for another appearance from the Weatherman on Sound Session in the coming weeks.
