10 Questions

This week's 10 Questions interview is with audiovisual artist Willie Evans Jr. If Duval County had a hip hop hall of fame Willie Evans Jr. would certainly be one of the portraits on display. He established himself as a solo MC before co-founding Asamov, a 904 based hip hop group. In addition to creating to fulfill his own artistic vision, he also has an extensive body of work as a producer and video editor, a process that helps Willie Evans Jr. serve others in actualizing their visions. Now in 2018, Willie Evans Jr.'s attention is on "Errthang," a Radiotopia podcast that he co-hosts with Al Letson. He also is an audiovisual artist, remixing video footage and audio clips and then splicing them together to play as one.
