SYNC STORIES: A new Bay Area hip hop all-star is born
California native Evante was raised in San Jose, the largest city in San Francisco’s Bay Area and home to one of the most revered hotbeds of multi-platinum hip hop artists including E-40, Too $hort, Mac Dre, Luniz, and so many more. As a songwriter, rapper and singer, Evante soaked up these influences as well as the music of Ne-Yo, New Edition, Jodeci and Justin Timberlake to create his own unique concoction of urban sounds, blending smooth and melodic soul melodies with an effortless flow of hypnotic rhymes fit for the clubs, the cars, or just about anywhere.
HipHopDX Premiere: San Jose native Evante has recruited Mozzy for his Egyptian-inspired “No Names” video, something Evante told HipHopDX was “unlike anything” he’s ever done. “Working with Mozzy was super easy and everything came together quite fast,” he tells DX. “He’s a great person to work with and I look forward to working with him more in the future.”
Evante self-released his debut album, Therapy, which he would often play over the loudspeakers at his day job in a retail shop. One day, producer and underground hip-hop mogul Omar “Iceman” Sharif who has worked with Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Onyx, Cam’ron, and others, happened to walk into Evante’s shop and was so impressed with what he heard that he immediately took Evante under his wing, promising the budding young star a future career. Sharif brought Evante to the doors of independent label Cleopatra Records, who promptly signed Evante and reissued his first album on all digital platforms.
Now, with his new album, P.U.R.E., set to be released on 2-9-18, Evante is about to seize the spotlight as he never has before, as P.U.R.E, features guest appearances from Gunplay and Mozzy and a special bonus remix track featuring Riff Raff.
