The Evil Jeanius is a collaborative studio album by American hip hop production duo Blue Sky Black Death and American rapper Jean Grae. It was released by Babygrande Records on September 30, 2008.
The album was controversial because Babygrande took Jean Grae's vocals without her permission and she was largely unaware of the project until it was announced. Years later, Jean Grae responded to a question about the album by writing, "It was a shit thing to do. Fuck babygrande."[1][2]
