Ever since he dropped his much awaited debut "The Weatherman LP", Dilated Peoples member Evidence has literally not stopped working....Appearing on a host of new albums and gearing up to release a new EP titled "The Layover" in late November, Evidence has already made a couple singles available to his fans via his Myspace page...."For Whom The Bell Tolls" is the second new joint that Ev is droppin' early to satiate his supporters and to me it's far superior to the first single he let go in "The Layover".
"For Whom The Bell Tolls" is a dynamic display of lyricism and beatmaking as North Kak native Phonte of Little Brother fame, up and coming, L.A. Underground sensation Blu and eccentric, Hip-Pop producer and Black Eyed Peas front man Will.I.Am all join Ev to lament the never ending topics of life, death and everything in between over one of Khrysis's most spellbinding beats yet. The beat itself is truly a classic drop, and while I initially suspected that maybe Ev produced this crack, I wasn't surprised when I discovered that Khrysis was in fact the one who molded such a ear catching instrumental. The brass and strings provide a melancholy feel and accentuate the airy, opera-like voices that chime in and out, but it's the climbing bell hits that strike the heaviest chord within me.....It's a masterfully produced track, but unlike most epic productions the beat doesn't over shadow the song's message or the lyrics. Props go out to Blu for keeping it 100x's realer by dropping a critical line in his verse about presidential candidate Barack Obama, during a time when it's becoming more and more popular for most artist's to just blindly support him to gain points...and that's coming from an informed Obama supporter. If "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is any indication of the kind of heat Ev has in store for us, than November 25th can't come soon enough and I'll gladly deal with the layover before we get "The Layover".
