I caught up with Baba Brinkman on Darwin Day earlier this year. He was performing his show, The Rap Guide to Evolution, to a packed house at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum)

I was absolutely blown away by his show that combines science, hip-hop, comedy, and performance art in a way that is respectful to hip-hop music and culture. It is apparent that Baba is a true hip-hop head and that comes through in this exclusive interview.

Press play to be educated and entertained and to hear these tracks . . .
