In the heart of Killeen, Texas, a remarkable transformation story unfolds within the music scene.

This album, as the title suggests, is a testament to his evolution, both as an individual and as an artist.
From Beats to Bars: The Genesis of a Sound
Jaylin’s musical journey kicked off with a simple act of influence from his cousin, leading him to the art of making beats. The encounter with the famous rapper Punchmadedev in 2015 marked a significant turn in his career. Bonding over video games and YouTube videos, their shared passion for music eventually led to Jaylin venturing into the realm of music production and rap. Utilizing FL Studio as his canvas, he crafts his music from scratch – engineering, producing beats, and rapping, embodying the true essence of an independent artist.
Despite being in the shadows of the music industry, Jaylin’s determination and passion for music never waned. Inspired by a diverse array of artists from Pierre Bourne to Lil Uzi Vert, and influenced by the raw energy of metal and rock bands like Hybrid Theory and Blessthefall, EDDIEVOLUTION’s sound is a vibrant blend of genres. His favorite rock anthem, “This Fire” by Killswitch Engage, epitomizes the fiery spirit that drives his music creation process.
“EVOLVED”: A Milestone Album
“EVOLVED” is more than just an album; it’s a narrative of Jaylin’s life, encapsulating the lessons, experiences, and growth he’s encountered over the years. Since dropping his first albums at 18, his journey through soundscapes has matured, mirroring his own personal development.

We had the pleasure of interviewing the artist. Here are excerpts from the interview:
Hi, Please introduce yourself and tell us about your journey.
I’m Jaylin Eddie. I make music & was famous for 2K videos on YouTube (EDDIEVOLUTION ON YOUTUBE). The artist’s name is EDDIEVOLUTION now, and it used to be RAGE. I’ve dropped two albums already under the name RAGE on Apple Music / Spotify / YouTube of the names (WE WANT RAGE & AREA 51).
I was born and raised in Killeen, Texas, I was born on January 3, 2001 (23). I make my own music from engineering, producing beats and, of course, rapping on them all by myself at FL studio. My cousin was the reason i started making beats and the famous rapper Punchmadedev who i’ve met in 2015, we’ve played video games together and made youtube videos and blew up on youtube and became 2K youtubers and overtime started making music and he blew up overtime and i’ve been an underdog just making music for myself until it’s my time to blow. I feel the need to be heard because I’ve been overlooked all my life when it comes to talent and passion for music or anything I’ve done. I just need a chance to make it, and I’ll show the world some real energy.
I’ve grown up listening to a lot of rap hip hop artists, and over the period of time, my sound of artists have changed and I’ve become highly influenced by the new rappers, including mainly Pierre Bourne, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Juice Wrld, XXXTentacion, and so on. When i’m in the gym daily and have been since 2022 to now, my music has evolved into metal/rock music and i listen to alot of Hybrid Theory and Blessthefall but overall my favorite rock song is “This fire” by killswitch engage (aka cm punk theme song) lol. I’m currently in the army and have been on active duty since November 9, 2021, and I want to make it out by making music. I feel as if my sound is unique, and I want to be heard around the world for my independent talent.
Please tell us about your latest album.
This new album, “EVOLVED,” is my newest sound. I got the name of the album from my evolution as a person. I was around 18 when I dropped my first albums. I’m 23 now, and I’ve grown up, and my sound has changed a bit. So, it’s just dedicated to my growth and experiences in music.
Any message for our readers
My message is, give me a chance. I want to be at the top and give my love back to the people who support me. I just need one shot to blow up and make it all worth it.
Thank you so much, Jaylin, for giving us your precious time! We wish you all the best for your journey ahead!
