In 2005 right after finishing the Change album, Khalil and I were bored with conventional Hip-Hop and decided to record a “side project” that was inspired by the images from 80’s movies like The Breakfast Club, Fastimes at Ridgemont High, St. Elmo’s Fire, The Last Dragon..etc. The routine was…I would come to the studio with a quarter of the most killer Kush I could find smoke as much of it as possible and write to whatever weird beat Khalil put up. At the same time Khalil was recording with this crazy sexy, but crazy Grace Jones (but waaayyyy better looking), Gwen Stefani, Rihanna type rapper/singer, from long Beach named Jeanine (Jeanisis). After hearing thier stuf together I asked Khalil to see if she would be down to lay vocals on a couple of the “side project ideas” and he thought she would be perfect as well…2 months into it we locked in and completed about 6 songs..the name of the project is Adees Matinee…Starring Jeanisis……
