#evidence #vinyl #indiemusic
Anticipate the sonic rebirth from virtuoso hip-hop artist, Evidence, in his much-awaited album, Unlearning Vol. 2, set to roll out to the world on August 15, 2025. The new compilation promises an immersive audio journey that inflames the senses and stirs the soul, tailored by an ensemble of esteemed producers including The Alchemist, Beat Butcha, C-Lance, Coop The Truth, Conductor Williams, Graymatter, QThree, and Sebb Bash.
Impressively, Evidence, the maestro of all “Weather” themed albums, takes on the power seat as a producer in this anthology. Unlearning Vol. 2, a sequel to its 2021 predecessor, disentangles from the norms and voyages into a profound encapsulation of growth, grief, and lyrical prowess. Evidence’s cool demeanor from his Dilated Peoples era tinges this album, but with a fine line of distinction as he delves into an instinctive exploration of raw emotions.
Steering away from his past laurels, the artist undertakes an ambitious stride towards a radical and introspective soundscape that remains true to his foundational style. Unlearning Vol. 2 stands as a testament to his perseverance and artistic flexibility, crafting his way through pain and purpose.
The album quietly screams of Evidence’s adaptability and artistic evolution, a quality evident from the launch of his numinous “Unlearning” single back in the transitional era of 2020. His aptitude for periodically rejuvenating whilst anchored to his roots amplifies the essence of the album. In the 2018 launch of his previous album, Weather or Not, Evidence expressed an urge to close the enduring weather-themed chapter of his creativity. This new album symbolizes the fulfillment of that vision, succeeding in an exceptional manner.
Unlearning Vol. 1 witnessed a harmonious collaboration between Evidence and a plethora of gifted producers. It skillfully encapsulated the artist’s eloquent and relatable songwriting, embellished with acclaimed guest performances from artists such as Boldy James, Conway The Machine, Fly Anakin, Murkage Dave, and Navy Blue.
In his journey of creative exploration, Evidence continues to dismiss the desire for marketability, album sales, and streaming potential, thus creating an enthralling listening experience that resonates with his existing fan base while capturing the attention of potential new listeners.
With Unlearning Vol. 2, a potential triptych of life-poetry albums is anticipated, leaving aficionados eager for an unfolding Vol.3 in the future. The renowned hip-hop artists, Rakim and KRS-One, bear a remarkable parallel to Evidence’s journey; their artistry screams of intrinsic motivation and their steadfastness to entwine classic rap with their evolved artistic expression. Lastly, Evidence’s characteristic unlearning philosophy soothes like light streaming in after a storm, fostering growth and heralding a transformative era in his musical saga.
