Much like the way we elect a President, it's all about Mobilizing Your Base. So while our winner was pitted against top sellers like Kanye and Weezy, plus URB faves Wale, Cudi and Jay Electronica, Evidence pulled an amazing 82% of the vote. Way to get your hustle on EV.
EV. 101
-Evidence, is an American hip hop artist, producer, and member of the rap group Dilated Peoples.
-Evidence is a native of Venice in Los Angeles, California.
-Evidence was a graffiti artist.
-Evidence's affinity with hip-hop and the culture began in the early eighties, with his parent's divorce and subsequent move from the affluent city of Santa Monica to neighboring Venice Beach. Raised by his single mother with his father less and less in the picture, Evidence took solace in his new backyard where his favorite pastimes became break-dancing at the former Venice Pavilion and skate-boarding with the Venice Z-Boys.
By the early 1990s, and in addition to becoming a graffiti artist, painting hip hop inspired hieroglyphics under the name "VANE," a move next door to QD3, son of producer Quincy Jones, Evidence discovered his true calling. QD3, an accomplished West Coast producer, ("To Live and Die in L.A."- Tupac, "Ghetto Bird"- Ice Cube, "I Got the Knack"- Everlast) became one of Evidence's major influences in his pursuit to create music. "At night I would hear a loud thumping coming from the back yard next door and it wouldn't stop until early in the morning” says Evidence recalling those early days. “I could tell that they weren't just playing music but sounded like music was being created."
