Synth charged bass-lines and clean kick drums make for an electronic beat Evil approaches from yet another angle. It has the kind of vibe, the catchy hooks, the top class production quality you expect from that level of professionalism. Not one to lack content though, this song is still very personal and thoughtful. Something about it makes it highly appealing. The lyricism on this track is top notch, and I would hate to spoil it for anybody so I won;t quote him here.
I love the songs like this, songs that you can emotionally connect to. Some old school sounding sample repeats over this track, featuring NaRai singing on the hooks. This has a very 90's sound to it for some reason. These songs make me wish other artists who used - Faygoluvers. Evil is easily one of the most intriguing voices coming out of west coast Canadian hip-hop at the moment.
Contrary to his name, rapper Evil Ebenezer is actually a pretty nice dude. They seem to embrace their own a bit more than most cities in Canada. Def3, whose real name is Danny Fernandez, is a Regina hip-hop artist who now lives in Vancouver and has also collaborated with Evil. Shortly later his wife left him. Two decades later Evil is pursuing music — the same entity that tore his family apart — with a fervent passion.
I think about it a lot, though. Will you? Shirts optional. Skyrocketing costs catapulted their budget through the roof forcing production to shut down, and sending everyone home. All that was left from the movie was the original soundtrack featuring a collection of fresh and quick lyrical rhymes with hard-hitting beats and heavy synths from Rap Legends Moka Only and Evil Ebenezer.
Canadian tour dates will be announced soon, and check out the video for Green here. Kubrick has become the go-to music director for Canadian Independent hip hop, producing, directing and editing close to videos which have seen rotation on Much Music and MTV. He is currently busy in the editing suite putting the final tweaks on the trailer for the legendary ZZBRA movie that never was.
Moka Only needs no introduction, as he has remained a fixture in the Canadian music scene for many years. With a discography of over 40 albums, he has proven himself as a rap renaissance man, constantly producing challenging and fascinating music that takes its inspiration from a wide variety of sources. As part of Swollen Members Moka won 3 consecutive Junos and has sold over , records independently, worldwide. With collaborations ranging from J Dilla and MF Doom to symphonies and classic cover songs, Moka Only always pushes the boundaries of the music he makes.
Evil Ebenezer has captured the neurotic soul of our times with eccentric dysfunction, humor and epic darkness all told with his trademark butter smooth delivery.
With a mastery of cadence, he captures the neurotic soul of our times with eccentric dysfunction, humour and epic darkness all told with his trademark butter smooth delivery. Spending his time touring North America he met up with a couple deviants from Vancouver and created something truly hideous. The group joined the Warped Tour to play for crowds of 20, screaming fans. This is the Evil your parents warned you about.
The whole The Birds album can be downloaded for free at ephin. Moka Only and Evil Ebenezer are fucking hilariously relaxed and quite possibly two of my favorite emcees I didn't know I loved. While I've been waiting nearly a month to find a review copy of their The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, if tracks like Let's Roll indicate the level of hell yea I shall be experiencingz, I'm even more amped to get my paws on it.
Leave it to Josh Martinez's Camobear Records to snap my continuing bored streak with hip hop lately. Vancouver-based rapper Evil Ebenezer's latest EP closely examines the personality of one of Batman's longtime foes: the Penguin. Produced and mixed by Edmonton DJ Nato, Evil's slick storytelling is nicely accompanied by Nato's fine beats and arrangements. At times, the music creates great suspense worthy of an action sequence in a Batman flick; "Half Bird Half Man" comes to mind as well as another standout song, "Grand Order of Occidental Nighthawks G.
The star of the EP also makes cameos; the Penguin's calculating yet confident voice opens every track, giving listeners more insight into the "gentleman of crime. More to the point, you can pick up this EP from www. Before you do that, watch the trailer for it here…. A little confidence and imagination in the vast tickle-trunk of social media and in a couple of years the trappings of greatness can seem to be yours.
Not surprisingly, calling Stuey cinematically inclined would be an understatement; the Draft Dodger has 33 completed music videos to his directorial credit in alone, to say nothing of how he chop a funky trumpet in a nice drum sau-ce. Moka Only and Evil Ebeneezer — names you can trust.
What hit me hardest was the prowess these MCs show at being Moka and Evil: mastery, not of rap in some generalized sense, but of secret recipes for individuality. Having a recognizable ideally an unmistakable presence on tracks is a hallmark of professional talent and a department where all of Zzbra excel. Moka Only flips some acrobatic word game with looseness that is borderline irresponsible. No safety net and deceptively lazy spit. It crosses a range of moods while keeping the listener close-by in the passenger seat of what rides like a hazy green bubble with a steering wheel.
Ohhh finger clap thing. In the latest movie, Batman pits his wits — and ever-expanding utility-belt — up against baddies Bane and Catwoman. As amazing as the new Batman movie may be, will anything ever top Batman Returns?
It had the best batmobile by far, Danny DeVito was BORN to play The Penguin, and hypnotic machine-gun umbrellas are way more classic badass than a dude with big arms inhaling steroids from a mask. Enter, Evil Ebenezer, a Vancouver rapper who taken it upon himself to reinvent himself in the guise of The Penguin for the release of a themed five song EP. On paper, the concept of this recording is bizarre.
Evil Ebenezer has clearly had a lot of fun making this EP, but after you stop laughing at the gags, you begin to appreciate this record for its clever rhymes and dark, chainsaw-ripping grit.
Production is by Nato. A hip hop album based on a comic book villain? Sounds bizarre at first — and it is ridiculous — but after a while it all makes sense… A rap recording based on a power-hungry character who cruises around in a big car, operates in the underground, and surrounds himself with guns and beautiful women, to remind others of his monetary power and own sense of importance?
The worlds of comic book fiction and hip hop stereotyping merge together wonderfully. Vancouver, B. Kinda weird, kinda cool.
Instead of pushing gimmicks Evil and Moka stick to what they do best- crafting ill hip-hop. Rocking over some of his more soulful instrumentals the boys are inspired to go from crooning to belting it out to the back row, right back to kicking sick rhymes.
A feat not easily achieved. Oh, and guess what, neither rapper raps on it. Pop stars in the making? Maybe not, but true artists these cats indeed are. No over priced popcorn and sticky floors just sit back and relax and let the music be the movie.
And now there's a new record from Vancouver's Ebenezer, one of the earliest of the bunch to rap about the dark side of the soul under the moniker of Evil , as both a solo artist and a member of Draft Dodgers. Thus Bleasdale has to settle for shit mix and coke. The two boys have been friends since Bleasdale moved to Chilliwack when his parents got divorced. Their relationship began over a common interest in Tribe Called Quest. For now they are scouting out the teen hotties, trying to see if the shit mix will make them more charming.
Bleasdale almost lost his virginity at the age of 13 on an airplane with a pretty black girl who was interested in pursuing a career as a professional dancer.
Unfortunately he had to settle for dry humping and frustration. The beatbox is provided by the sounds of retching emerging from the bathroom.
Someone got too shit-faced on the shit mix. Her name is Holly. She developed breasts before the other girls her age and as such has been popular since puberty. Pause in being pissed drunk. Here is a complete moment of clarity.
She just said it. He has a fucking rap name now! Light Weight Larry ignores the commotion and continues to empty his stomach of the vile remains of the shit mix.
Nothing much has changed in his life other than the absence of music. Evil continues to work as a waiter at a family restaurant spending his tips on booze, weed and cigarettes. To satisfy his creative side he has been drawing comic book villains and buying frames at local thrift shop to make his home into an art gallery.
His apartment has become a den of heroes and villains. Watching the cartoon war unfold on his wall, he remembers his own days on the road as a hero. He thinks about getting a government job, something boring that he can sink his teeth into and work towards having some sort of adult life. BC Hydro or even working as a cop. He refuses to pick up a mic at parties and the shows he attends. He went away to Waterloo, became a teacher and was ready to start a new life. He was going to work the , and be there to raise his family with the woman he loved more than anything in the world.
He toured around British Columbia always on the edge of that moment where he became a household name. Sacrificing time with his family for the things he would get for them when he hit the big time.
Living out his childhood dreams but not seeing his children. His wife felt like she was raising the kids alone. EVIL was 12 years old and living with his father and 16 year old sister. There were band rehearsals most evenings and often there was no food in the refrigerator. Stubborn in his faith in his music his father turned down a deal from a record label to produce a single.
His father was a natural born hustler and sold ten thousand copies of his country album Looking for Love door to door proceeds of which would take his son and daughter to Hawaii in the early s. As a father he never mastered the middle ground between shitty spaghetti and fantastic trips.
This friend also mentioned that upon selling this album his father took a shit in their home and the smell was terrible. He wanted a full album and believed if he only hustled a little while longer the break would come. Throughout every relationship he has ever had Evil has been terrified that music would end up taking it away. Music was a demanding mistress, constantly fighting for his attention. Forcing him on the road for months at a time to make a name for himself.
When he was home he never had time away from the emails, calls on his cell phone, the grant applications and the creation of the next project. These two musical strands have continued to define the core of his music. Today it remains sinfully easy to get caught up in the hypnotic web EVIL weaves.
Film Industry night. Vaughn Oliver a. The album charted in the Top Ten for 8 solid weeks. His high-energy shows continue to electrify audiences whenever and wherever they seek out EVIL.
See myspace site for Tour Dates. As if his plate was not full enough, EVIL fans can expect to see a brand new solo album in as well. Artist descriptions on Last. Feel free to contribute!
