WorldWide Entertainment TV Podcast exclusive interview with Phoenix hip hop artist Richie Evans. He speaks on his latest music releases forthcoming that includes Rick Ross and Jay Rock of TDE.

The artist talks about the Kanye West controversy and his Drink Champs interview that got censored. He released a single called "For You" featuring Vedo & a music video called "Let Me Talk That S***" which is currently played on MTV & BET JAMS:

Richie Evans 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. There’s a reason Richie Evans is positioned to be a major rap figure. “If you take a little bit ofThe Game, mix a little bit of Fabolous with a little bit of Nas, sprinkle a little bit of Ice Cube and wrap it all up,” he says, “that’s what you get from me.” 

Richie Evans sounds like the best because he learned from the best. After a chance meeting with platinum rapper The Game in a Phoenix nightclub several years ago, Evans joined The Game’s team and learned under the Compton rap icon. A few years into their relationship, Richie Evans – who rapped under the moniker Juice at the time – decided to strike out on his own. The Game gave Evans his blessing, so Richie Evans adopted his given name in 2016 and started rebranding himself. He began building his infrastructure and setting himself up with a business, The Evans Administration. 

Evans then partnered with prominent concert promoter Sean Healy for a seven-city “Highly Favored Tour” at the top of 2022. It served as another example that Evans’ hard work was paying off.

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 lead single “Can’t Knock The Hustle.” The latter shows the chemistry Evans has with one of the genre’s elite talents. “For someone like Ross to respect my flow and be willing to jump on the record, it shows that he has respect and appreciation for the music that I’m making,” Evans says. 

“Ross is one of the top artists out there making high quality music.” Highly Favored, which will be released via partnership between 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. “I love to maintain and cool out with a few pretty women,” he explains. “I’m cool and I do cool, fly shit all the time. I’m also an MC and I like to compete and show that skill set as well. I’m trying to go from XXL to the Forbes list. I’m trying to build not just a brand, but a family as well. I love to hang around like-minded successful people and talk business and life.” 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. “It seems like the city is starting to get real national attention,” he details. “A lot of things are clicking. The Phoenix Suns are in the playoffs for the second year in a row, and the Arizona Cardinals are picking up traction. Phoenix has grown so much over the last decade. It’s starting to become a real hub of its own.” Richie Evans is the driving force of Phoenix’s musical movement. Get ready.
