Christion'

Anybody know what happened to these guys? They had an album on Rocafella in about '97 or '98 called "Ghetto Cyrano":




1. Intro
2. Ghetto (Do What Ya Gotta Do)
3. Full of Smoke
4. Pull It
5. Where I'm from (Interlude)
6. Where I'm From
7. Midnight X-Ta-C
8. Anything Goes
9. I Wanna Get Next to You
10. Bring Back Your Love
11. Face Like Yours
12. Come to Me
13. Soon
14. Tonight
15. Aftermath

Anyway, I thought this wasn't a bad album, they had pretty nice voices. Then all of a sudden they disappeared. I know one of the guys from this group was on a Beanie Seigal or Freeway song, I think, but that was about it. Do any of you know what happened?

I have this CD. I liked about 3 songs off of it "Full of Smoke" "Bring Back Your love" and the remake "I Wanna Get Next To You"

I did a thread on these guys a while ago. Supposedly, the oldest brother did a solo CD on Rocafella in 2000. It got shelved and didn't get released. The youngest brother is looking to bring back Christion on his own. He's currently looking for a deal. I read a interview where (he said) Rocafella didn't promote them right and it started a lot of hassles between the group and Jay-Z. Hard to believe that CD came out almost 10 years ago.

Yeah...

I dont know if he was the younger or eldest of the two brothers, but Allen Anthony, one of the brothers from Christion, released a single "Alright" along with a shelved album. I think "Alright" actually was based on the beat he sang background with on that Freeway track (whose name I forget).

I hope they can get it together.

I posted about these guys years ago. Good R&B gets overlooked around here sometimes. People love to say nobody's out there, but don't want to listen when you tell them there are.

I loved Full Of Smoke and Pull It.

I only heard "Bring Back Your Love" which was them singing over Zapp's "Computer Love", and it struck me as slapped together, so I didn't check out their album.

That's the song that hooked me...maybe I have played it over and over to much...it's the bass in "Come to me" that I really like...

The only song that I liked by Christion was Full of Smoke b/c it had that Curtis Mayfield vibe going. That song defintely was a 70's Mack throwback pimp2 kind of tune.
