“The Evolutionists represent something rare in the local scene—continuity. This project harks back to the golden age of hip hop, weaving the familiar sounds of soul and R&B into a contemporary soundscape.” — New Hampshire Magazine The Evolutionists fuse classic soul samples into an original, fresh mix of Hip Hop and R&B. Fronted by New England Music Award winners Ruby Shabazz and Fee the Evolutionist, the group is backed by a powerhouse ensemble of the region's most accomplished jazz and funk instrumentalists.
Ruby’s soulful vocals evoke the classic R&B legends of the past, while Fee delivers a unique flow reminiscent of golden-era emcees. Together with their world-class rhythm section, they create a high-energy groove that keeps the crowd rocking.
