We definitely think so, and the good peoples at The Word Is Bond agree. Not only did they name Willie EV one of the top 10 MC’s of 2011, he cracked the top 5. You can check the whole article HERE. We at HWM want to say thanks to The Word Is Bond for the props, and congrats to Willie EV.
With a Doom-like raspy voice, aggressive flows and witty lyrics, Willie Evans Jr. caught our attention from the get go, but don’t be mistaken, this is DEFINITELY not a Doom copycat. When you sit and listen to a couple of tracks, Willie clearly carves his own lane and it will make you want to listen to much more of what he has to say.
We weren’t the only ones to notice his talent either, as he signed with High Water Music this year and on his last video he had none other than Pharoahe Monch, Jean Grae, Sucio Smash amongst others to cameo. Willie released one of the best and most entertaining albums this year “Introducin’ Willie Evans Jr.”, with a 4 star rating from us. Everyone in the team loves it, and it has been on replay for quite sometime now.
