Willie Evans, Jr. — Producer/emcee from Jacksonville. This guy is bananas: he chops up samples from videos and makes beats from them. For an example, check this. Or this. Okay, now that you have an idea, imagine him projecting this on a screen at a show so you actually get a visualization of his chops. Yea. We on some next level shit, hit you with multi-sensory experiences. He used to do production for The Perceptionists and was also one half of the Alias Brothers (the AB's) along with Asamov. Not sure what his affiliation with TheNerdySouth.com is, but he reps it. Here's an interview for a little more information (which is a little tough to come by for this dude).
Discography: Communication; random cuts with Mr. Lif, Therapy, Akrobatik and other folks
