Like
the Alchemist and
Oh No project Gangrene, but heavier on the grit and psychedelics,
Semi Hendrix is a '70s-styled side project from producer Jack Splash and rapper
Ras Kass. Splash had worked with artists like
Alicia Keys,
CeeLo Green, and
Sia, and was just finishing a tour with his funk band
PlantLife when he proposed the idea to his favorite MC,
Ras Kass. With
the Pharcyde's
Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde and
DJ Shadow's
Endtroducing..... as their guides, the duo got to work on their debut album, and then signed with the Mello Music Group. In 2015 the label issued the group's LP Breakfast at Banksy's, featuring
Raheem DeVaughn,
Kurupt,
Alice Russell, and
CeeLo Green as guests. ~ David Jeffries
