The NeÜtrals are an internationally recognized Alternative Hip-Hop & R&B group from St. Louis, Missouri, made up of LeeTheSensei, Taye Smoove, and Marcell DaDon. The three longtime friends first met at Hazelwood East High School and later discovered their natural chemistry on a spontaneous road trip to SEMO—where casual harmonizing in the car unexpectedly captured magic in a bottle.
From that moment, The NeÜtrals were born—a group defined by soulful vocals, hypnotic rhythm, and emotional resonance.
🌌 The Sound of The NeÜtrals
The NeÜtrals’ sound blends neo-soul, R&B, modern jazz, and chant-style harmonies, creating music that feels both futuristic and timeless. Their debut album, Parallel Mirror, introduced listeners to their minimalist, vibe-driven approach—favoring mood and texture over word-heavy lyricism. The project built strong traction across the Midwest and positioned The Neutrals as innovators in the independent soul music scene.
🔥 Breakout Success: “Surrender”
Following Parallel Mirror, The Neutrals released their breakout single Surrender—a reimagined sample of Kut Klose’s 90s R&B classic. The song showcases each member’s individuality: LeeTheSensei’s poetic depth, Taye Smoove’s smooth melodies, and Marcel DaDon’s grounded soul energy, blending seamlessly into one unified sound.
With Surrender, the trio silenced critics and proved their ability to craft fully realized, lyrically rich, and emotionally engaging records while staying true to their roots.
