Evvls – “Trust Issues”
Over the last several months, Evvls put out a handful of tracks where he delivers moody lyrics on twinkling plugg beats. That sentence may seem like something you’ve come across a million times, but the appeal of Evvls is the contrast between the volatility of his emotions and the plainness of his vocals. On a song like “highschool,” he shrugs off his inability to commit through soft and apathetic croons; it’s what I imagine Lucki would sound like if he was more melodic. Yet the mood of his newest song “Trust Issues” is different. In the high energy first half, he’s so annoyed at the thought of giving anyone the time of day that he chants a cliché (“I can’t fuck with hoes”). As the song becomes airier in the second half, his annoyance turns to frustration that he didn’t live by his words: “Shawty fuckin’ with my head I”m not gon’ lie.” All of this happens in a song that barely clocks in at over a minute.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
