evs interview(s) [youtube]

Besides being one of the nicest human beings, evs is also one of the most underrated artists around. I was always a big fan of his beats (back in the halcyon days of atak/tape trading/and b-boy summits), but have grown to appreciate his raps just as much.

We were excited to find these videos via evs myspace page. Do check out his page and buy a copy of Convenience Store if you are in a position to. It features a classic LA2thebay sound. He just posted a brand new song entitled "No Wonder." His new album will feature production by gaslampkiller, 10shun, egadz, along with a few big surprises.

Interviewed by DJ DOPESHOES (Access)

This was a great interview which covers a lot of the history of how the Convenience Store came together as a group.



Interviewed by Mane One



Part 2 focuses on evs' creative process and discusses his newest project, Convenience Store, with Neila and Tommy V.

Giants of Science E.P. (Subtitle and Doc Lewd) free LA2theBay Download

Here is the second installment in a series of free digital downloads being offered by La2thebay. Earlier this year they brought us the Prince Po/2-mex collaboration, so we knew this was going to be good.

This time around we are treated to the Giants of Science - Cedarwood Trees EP penned by Subtitle a.k.a. Giovanni Marks and Chris Chambers a.k.a. Doc Lewd of the English League. Good ol' 4-track goodness, I've been listening to this non-stop for the last couple days.

The back story on this was cryptically posted awhile ago by Gino. I'm glad they finally let the project loose on the general public.

Giovanni Marks-For the mode and the road:24 songs that you may or may not have heard, but unreleased in any kind of hard form till now. There's a piece of paper in the copies at amoeba that has an address where you can go download the mysterious Giants Of Science e.p. that was NEVER released....
Giants Of Science is C. Chambers of English League/Shapeshifters/ALIFE infamy and myself....
like I said, what you neeeeed to do...

If I have some time tomorrow I'll post some of my favorite old SubT and Lewd songs.

Please support good music.
