David as Kenny Dennis

Jade as Jueles

Nedelle as Stace

Produced by Rob

“David Cohn has earned a reputation as a storyteller who can dredge up some pinpoint details and harrowing emotion…” - Pitchfork

We all know Kenny Dennis, he’s been with us for years. We met him at a Sox game, felt his pain as he told us of his early days rapping with The Grimm Teachaz, how he could have been a contender, if not for that run in with Shaq. We rooted for his big comeback with Ders - Perfecto, while eating some brats and sipping O’Douls. Bet big, Win big.

And of course, we felt the tug on our heartstrings every time he told us how he loves his wife. The ever-present, yet mysterious Jueles. The one he’d do anything for.

Little did we know while Kenny was busy planning his comeback - Jueles was making some plans of her own.

Butterflies is Jueles’ debut album, their story through her eyes, though her songs. Her big dreams and musical aspirations, her infatuation with Tom Sellec, and their meeting that tips off a series of fateful events. Opening our eyes to a whole new story – and the secret we’ve been missing all these years.

We may just find we don’t know Kenny as well as we think.

I love that you opted to put out the Grimm Teachaz record [There’s a Situation on the Homefront] on Chopped Herring. That’s the perfect vehicle for an album like this, when you’re saying, “This is an unreleased gem from the 90s,” and this guy who puts out unreleased 90s records says, “Hey, let me put out your record.”

Yeah, it’s perfect. We have another one too, the Grimm Teachaz record that broke the camel’s back, The End Is Near. That’s the follow-up Grimm Teachaz record.

This is the one that laid the group to rest?

You can definitely tell that there are some problems brewing. It’s fun, man. I really enjoy the whole Kenny universe. It’s fun, but also I can get some stuff done for myself, too. I have this whole plan for the next two Kenny records. I might not do another one, but if I do, I know how to finish it all. I’ve got the whole thing all sorted out, from 1979 when Kenny starts rapping under the name DiscoKen — all one word, so it has disco, it has coke in it, and it has Ken in it. He signed this deal, and that’s when he was really on the bennies, from the 70s to the 90s, but then the Teachaz group sort of cleaned him up a bit. Then after that, he’s retired again, because it was tough. He really got into his wife, Jules, and that’s when he did that Dennehy thing, and from there, now we’re at KDIII and he’s back. He drinks the O’Doul’s not because he was an alcoholic; he drinks the Doul’s to curb his bennies addiction. I like that better.
