Still waiting on "Nothing Left To Say" and "Make It Mine".
I think "Make It Mine" was this hard pounding synthetic beat - still have the beat stuck in my head - he had it bumping in his whip on Snapchat even just a couple years ago, I know the former was piano and had an ill haunting melodic tune to it.
Throw It All Away is laid back, simple, a little catchy, reminds me of a "Liner Notes" with a "Well Runs Dry" kind of subject matter. Also has a lot of sounds that were used in Carrollton Heist and Like Father Like Son Pt. II. I've got the core sample as well. Very fly, but in my opinion, Al could have used another part of the song for more layering - I'd know because I flipped it myself. :mjpls:

99% sure the album will be titled "Weather Or Not", not sure of the verdict on the spelling of "Weather". It's been 5 and a half years since Cats & Dogs. Been waiting patiently for this one.

I always thought the electronic sounding beat was another Sid Roams joint that never made the cut. I know he kept saying he was gonna drop Make It Mine (prod. Alc) but never did. That was supposed to be an extra bonus, and so was State of Emergency, which ended up dropping on a Montage One album.

Evidence might be one of the most improved rappers I've ever heard. Loved his solo albums
Most improved I can think of. I hated that dude on on Dilated albums. I didn't even really like Weatherman. I liked Layover, and then went back and appreciated Weatherman, and was excited for Cats & Dogs. And I never would've ever imagined being excited for an Evidence release.

Not only is he really improved as a rhymer, but he's a good producer so he knows how to make an album that displays his strengths and hides his weaknesses.

The video and joint tomorrow is gonna be dope.

This shyt better have drums. Alchemist been looping records and not adding drums for years
It's got drums. Not light drums that are just in the sample either, but added drums.

That's the thing you can count on with Ev. Ev always picks bangers. No matter who the producer is, you can pretty much guarantee that Ev doesn't pick any bullshyt from them.

He's been really straightforward and up front about this for years, and talks about it in interviews. Ev likes drums.

People were worried about the Step Brothers album not having drums either, and there's like 1 or 2 out of 16 joints on there that don't have hard drums on them.
