Ok, so I was gonna wait a little while to unleash this news, because I knew the press would just have a field day when the big announcement breaks, but since Jerry already “leaked” it in his last blog post, I figured I’d go ahead and man up.
The rumors are true. Young Trenton and I are starting a Comedy Gangsta Rap group. We don’t have a name for our group yet, so we may like to hear suggestions, if you got any. We do however have our individual rap names: I am henceforth to be referred to as Baby-J and Trent will answer to T-Lean and/or Caveman.
We’ve been working on some material. We have 2 songs completely written, and several more concepts for songs. We’re doing all the music and beats ourselves, with a little help from Josh Thompson (who you might remember as Kevin from Tim and Katie), a fantastic musician in his own right. We’re planning on cutting a demo (I understand that’s Industry Talk for Recording a Demo) at KREJ headquarters in the next couple weeks. We suspect you might be able to download the EP straight from the KREJ website (Psst… Jerry start working on that technology!!).
Unlike a lot of White Comedy Rap artists, such as The Lonely Island, we’re not really going for the whole “white 80’s rapper/Vanilla Ice/Beastie Boys” sound. We’re slightly closer to the Rap/Hip-Hop stylings of such artists as Outkast, Eminem, Ludacris, Dr. Dre, Goodie Mob, and Busta Rhymes, all of which we’re huge fans of (Not to say we don’t enjoy the Lonely Island, we do a good bit, but Come on, we’re from the A).
T-Lean and I are really excited about this new undertaking. We have another band who we understand is looking forward to having us play some shows with them. We’re planning on getting the EP out of the way first, and then doing some local shows here and there. And, since we do tend to make films and whatnot occasionally, there may be some music videos heading your way soon. We don’t have any shows scheduled just yet, but stay tuned, because you’ll hear it here first.
Sincerely,
Your boy Baby-J
P.S. This in no way affects the work we are doing with KREJ Productions. We still plan on working on our scripts and films and all that, even when we blow up like Hiroshima. :D

Allow me this thought.
It appears to me the Lonely Island don't parody the 80's/white dude rap. They are more a parody of modern club rap.
Fair enough. I Don't really listen to them all that much. There were a few on the cd that I felt sounded like that older rap style. Not really the popular ones though.
Fantastic news!! Just fantastic. Where do I pick up my sash and crown?
