The Evil Jeanius is a collaborative album by American hip hop production duo Blue Sky Black Death and American rapper Jean Grae. It was released on Babygrande Records on September 30, 2008.

The album was controversial because Babygrande took Jean Grae's vocals without her permission and she was largely unaware of the project until it was announced. In response to the situation, Jean Grae exclaimed "Fuck babygrande."

Michael Kabran of PopMatters said, "the album lacks the cohesion and comes across like an uneven mixtape, assembled without an active contribution from all parties." Meanwhile, Ben Meredith of URB called it "a powerful hip-hop album, extraordinarily eclectic, and a real treat from the Jean Grae/Blue Sky Black Death collaboration."
