I sit at our new LA location, The PentagonLA, waiting for Evidence. For this interview. I’m nervous. I start to think about all the years I’ve heard him deliver consistent, high quality work. I’m nervous. Dilated Peoples. The Weather Man Series. Countless features. God tier production. I’m nervous. It’s sunny outside. He walks in. Evidence is wearing a fur collared jacket and a florescent orange beanie. I’m not nervous anymore. Firm handshake. We get started. Evidence is a pro. From the beginning he was in control of the interview. You can almost see the talent radiating from Evidence so it gives me high hopes that “Weather Or Not” will be no less amazing than anything he’s done.
