Before we get that new Dilated Peoples album via Rhymesayers, Evidence is getting back with Decon for a beat tape, Green Tape Instrumentals. The fourth installment of his instrumentals series will be out on June 25th. As well known as EV is for his skills on the mic, his production game is just as polished. The album will feature 20 beats, mostly made from 2006 to 2010 (tracklist below). Check the first single, “Self Taught,” a beat he made in ’08. Judging by the response from the previous Yellow, Purple, and Red tapes, shortly after 6/25 you’ll be hearing a whole lot of rappers with new songs “produced” by Evidence.

1. Self Taught
2. Killer Bees
3. Run It Back
4. Waste Of Time
5. Roc Germany
6. West Coasting
7. F Train
8. 3 Murals
9. First Light
10. Braille
11. Break!
12. India
13. His Country
14. Before Tour
15. Scrolling
16. Synth Moments
17. Good Evening
18. Mariachi
19. Bong
20. Scary Clown Music

Honestly, these Durag Dynasty joints are postable on the strength of the artwork alone (Pat Riley has never looked so wavy). But more than just hilarious artwork, The trifecta of Planet Asia, Tristate, and Killer Ben bring heat with every drop. For their latest Alchemist produced joint, “Spiral Event,” they bring along Evidence for the help out. Peep game below and let the four emcees leave you seasick with their latest joint. Durag Dyansty’s debut album, 360 Waves (entirely produced by Alchemist) will be out March 26th via Nature Sounds(pre-order here – tracklist after the jump). Dope music, but in all seriousness, there’s no country for durags in 2013.

When they’re not arguing about the strength of adamantium verse vibranium Sean Price and Pharoahe Monch are actually pretty good at this rap thing. No plaid Gatsby caps this time around, just three hard verses from P! with Monch on the hook (taking lines from one of my favorite Monch joints). Mic Tyson is out tomorrow (pre-order).

Here goes some new music from a man we don’t hear from nearly enough these days. Evidence just unearthed this loosie “Sakura” featuring Planet Asia. says EV: “Why did I choose to blend a Japanese Folk Song that I learned in first grade with Escapades Of Futura 2000? The answer is,’I was stoned.’ Called Planet Asia over to body the beat on verse 2. Twiz The Beat Pro made this in 2011. Pulled it out of the vaults for you to peep. Hope you enjoy.” Enjoy it we do, now what’s up with a new album?

New Tigallo, New Tigallo, etc. Also, as it happens, new Big K.R.I.T., new Evidence and new MomTigallo (!) filling in for a missing MC on this hilarity-TV video for “Life of Kings“–sorry, no telling, you have to watch. She knows the verse, though. Real talk. Who needs a Tupac hologram when Phonte’s Mom is on the set? Nobody, is who. Watch, enjoy the life of kings and then right after you go cop Charity Starts At Home lick a shot nukka, bong-bong!
