“Rapper and OKills family member ev4n holt has dropped another quick project. Featuring production by KReam Team, Super 3, Envoy, and a few industry instrumentals from the likes of Jay Electronica and Kanye West, ev4n sets out to prove why he is different from every other hip hop artist. He doesn’t use cliche hooks or bouncy beats to become popular. He doesn’t use an animated delivery or what the rap community refers to as “Drake Bars” to catch your attention either. ev4n simply raps about his life experiences (the Uphill Battle) while keeping it interesting with witty lyricism.”
