Release Notes:
The duo Christi≤n is back!! Kenni Ski's songwriting and production
skills quickly became legendary after the release of Christi≤n's first single
'Full of Smoke.' T. Ross replaces the departing Allen Anthony, stepping to the
forefront after singing background for the dynamic duo. Ross put a hold on his
own solo debut to add his unique flavor to the Christi≤n sound.
When asked the reason for such a long delay for their sophomore album, Kenni Ski
responds, "All good things come in time. I know it sounds clichΘ, but I truly
believe there's a season for everything. I want to thank all the fans who've
patiently waited for our return. We had the privilege of being the first group
signed and released on Roc-A-Fella. After being a part of two Roc-A-Fella
soundtracks, "Streets is Watching" and "DJ Clue Presents," I know it's been a
minute since ya'll heard from us. Allen decided to release his solo album with
the Roc while I wanted to pursue more avenues of the business. I've been
producing for cats ever since. Last year I co-founded THE MINT with Phaethon
Devlin Brown (President & CEO), and Sean 'Cookie' Cook (Chief Marketing Officer)
and we inked our distribution deal with Navarre Corporation. I look forward to
the new path of the group and I hope the fans of our music will join us on our
journey."
During Christi≤n's hiatus, the group appeared on the Backstage-movie soundtrack
(2000) and The Roc Files-compilation (2003). Ski has been producing tracks for
Aftermath Records, DJ Clue, Sky Balla', Frank Stickums, Young Jet, Dawn Robinson
(En Vogue), his brother Allen Anthony, Cat Kim, Reign (to name a few), as well
as numerous film and television projects.
Ski's song lyrics have been quoted by numerous Hip Hop/R&B icons, including
Jay-Z, P. Diddy, and Nas, who all have chosen to incorporate Ski's words into
their own incredible brand of music. "I'm a huge fan of all those cats so it's
extremely flattering to have them use any of my lines in their songs," says Ski.
"I've always regarded Jay-Z as one of the greatest street poets of our time, so
to have him diggin' my vibe is an honor. I got into the music game to make a
difference, and make a statement. I told Damon Dash that I didn't care if our CD
went double platinum or double plastic, my goal was to reach the streets, and
talk to the people."
Christi≤n did just that with the release of their critically acclaimed and self
produced Roc-A-Fella/Def Soul debut album, "Ghetto Cyrano." The album became a
Soul & Hip-Hop classic and set the bar as well as influenced the entire Neo-Soul
movement while garnering 4 to 5 star reviews in VIBE, Rolling Stone, Billboard,
SPIN, XXL, Radio & Records, Black Radio Exclusive, People, Source, GAVIN and
Urban Network. "The cats are genius B, crazy hot, you can't touch 'em...," a
statement made by multi-platinum rapper/CEO and Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z. "Real
talent, that dude writes real shit," comments super producer/rapper/CEO and
Hip-Hop icon Dr. Dre.
Check for the new album "Project Plato" this summer.
