Grinderzz: How old were you guys when you first signed on as JJ Fad?
JJ Fad: Baby Dee -15, McJB – 21, and Sassy C – 21.
Grinderzz: You guys were blessed to be down with Ruthless Records, and having the late Easy E as your boss. How was it like working with him E, and how was the group first introduced to him?
McJB: Working with Easy E was amazing! We also were able to hang with him and chill when we weren’t working.
Grinderzz: There were 3 other members that were in the group that left because of management disagreements…Cash, Shahead, and Lee. Do you guys still keep in touch with them?
Baby Dee: They were never in the group, they were just writers. We don’t know of Cash whereabouts, but they do stay in contact with the others 2.
Grinderzz: When did any of you know you wanted to be in the entertainment industry?
Baby Dee: When I was younger, I would sing the song “Sarah Smile,” and my parents knew I would make it in the business. I used to do a lot of talent shows, as well.
Sassy C: God didn’t put her here for cooking and cleaning…… LOL
Grinderzz: You ladies were under the guidance of the one and only Dr Dre.
How was it like working with him?
McJB: It was hard, he’s a perfectionist, but we def do owe Dre a lot. Baby Dee: It was very hard, but it all paid off in the end.
Grinderzz: A lot of our audience didn’t know, but JJ Fad stands for Just Jammin Fresh and Def. Who was the brain child in coming up with the name of the group?
McJB: We all did, everyone had input in choosing the name of the group.
Grinderzz: You guys split in 1992 to come back together in 2009, and now are touring the country with different other artists. How does it feel to be back on the road?

Baby Dee: A car, Jewelry, and a Gucci bag.
McJB: Jewelry.

Grinderzz: I know you all now have families. Are any of your children following in your footsteps?
McJB: HECK TO THE NO! Right now, my children are star athletes in their schools and I’m very proud of that.
Grinderzz: Can we expect any new music from JJ Fad in the near future? McJB: Right now, we are having fun doing old school shows, but if the right producer came around, we might consider.
