Get yo smarts on with some evolutionary beatz.

Overview

Rap and science — what could be better? New York-based Canadian rapper Baba Brinkman and DJ Jamie Simmonds will be spinning tha beatz all night long on June 6 and 7 at the Arts Centre (and by all night long, we mean a prompt 6pm start until the album's duration has ceased).

From classics such as 'Unity of Common Descent' and 'Creationist Cousins', The Rap Guide to Evolution literally covers everything. Now, we know what you're thinking... and we don't blame you, it sounds weird. We get it. It's a dude standing on stage and rapping about Darwin's theory, it kind of goes against everything we know about rap (and science for that matter). But considering the shining reviews of Brinkman's The Rap Canterbury Tales a few years ago, we can't help but think that this might just be awesome.

Not only will Brinkman be delighting us with his rhymes and evolutionary takes on classic rap songs, but there promises to be "epic audio visuals" as well. Argh! Worlds are colliding and we don't know how to feel.
