My guest this week is California rapper, producer, one-third of Dilated Peoples, and head of Bigger Picture Recordings, Evidence. We spoke about the phenomenon of watching whatever’s on TV at the moment, The Godfather Part II, White Chicks, the romantic sports coming-of-age movie Lucas, movie theaters as cultural hubs, growing up before and during the rise of hip-hop, his love for producing and photography, moving on from the Weatherman character, and the creative process behind his upcoming album Unlearning Vol. 2, out August 15 on Rhymesayers. Come fuck with us. 

Unlearning Vol. 2 is out August 15 on Rhymesayers. Pre-order now on Bandcamp and the Rhymesayers site. Follow Evidence on Instagram and Twitter: @Evidence
