Tommy Evans
Another Hit/ Revolutions

Tommy Evans is making a real name for himself in British hip hop, displaying intelligent lyrics that have depth and attitude. ‘Another Hit’ has a deep feel to it mainly due to the ere piano sample mixed with a heavy bass line and use of strings. It makes me think of dark London nights walking the streets being introspective and aware. Colony is featured on this track spitting solid rhymes with serious British attitude. Tommy is more the philosopher or traveller saying well thought out rhymes. They compliment each other well and there’s

also Nuwella singing in a soft and high pitched jazz way to really give weight to the track. ‘Another Hit’ makes for a uniquely British feel with definite street appeal and challenges the mind in an introspective way.

‘Revolutions’ has got a lot of energy, funk and soul. The title implies a hard hitting track that really delivers. There’s guitar there, heavy bass, solid beats and synths to give depth to the track. Tommy is busting lyrics about the nature of the times and what’s gonna happen. It’s all positive, uplifting and serious in the hip hop sense. There’s also Nuwella giving it some soul. This track is solid and shows UK MC’s what needs to be said about real issues. There’s also a remix of ‘Revolutions’ that is seriously funky.
