The Evolutionists are an award-winning, live hip-hop and R&B band from New England. Fronted by the powerhouse duo of singer Ruby Shabazz and emcee Fee the Evolutionist, the group blends classic soul samples with live instrumentation to deliver one of the Northeast’s most dynamic musical experiences.
This genre-blending ensemble commands the stage with a vibrant fusion of jazz, blues, and golden era hip-hop. Bassist Steve Davis, a veteran of the New England jazz scene, anchors the rhythm section with precise, deep upright grooves. Guitarist Harry Borsh elevates the sonic landscape with a rich melodic touch, while drummer Najeem drives the band's heartbeat by pairing high-energy funk with surgical jazz timing. Completing the vibe is DJ Myth, a premier turntablist whose sharp scratching keeps the music deeply rooted in hip-hop culture.
Their signature sound has earned critical acclaim, with New Hampshire Magazine praising the band for “weaving the familiar sounds of soul and R&B into a contemporary soundscape.”
