He studied under The Game. He landed a major deal with Nike. He was endorsed by Vitaminwater. He did all that on his own, without the help of a major label deal and sans the backdrop of a major rap city. Now, Richie Evans is poised to become rap’s next superstar and put his hometown of Phoenix, Arizona on the map. One listen to Richie Evans' forthcoming Highly Favored EP backs up his claim. Evans is one of those rare artists who's able to thread the artistic needle and deftly straddle different sounds, styles, and subject matter with equal might. Jay Rock and East Side K-Boy help Richie Evans bring the heat on the street-certified "Pressure", while Evans teams with Rick Ross on the lead single "Can't Knock The Hustle." The latter shows the chemistry Evans has with one of the genre's elite talents. Highly Favored, which will be released via partnerships between the The Evans Administration (TEA) company and music industry powerhouse Ingrooves, also features previously released single "For You" with platinum vocalist Vedo. Here, Evans puts his woman on a pedestal, proclaiming his love for her and highlighting the positive things she’s brought to his life. The song’s lyrics represent that Evans views women as essential members of his movement. Now, with the impending release of his Highly Favored EP and endorsements from several of the genre's biggest acts, Richie Evans is ready to rise, just like his hometown of Phoenix.
