J.J. Fad is a female Rap group from Rialto, California. The name was an acronym of the original group members' given names (Juana, Juanita, Fatima, Anna, and Dania), but when the line-up changed the tradition developed that it stood for Just Jammin', Fresh and Def. The group was backed by DJ Train (Clarence Lars). J.J. Fad began in 1985 as a quintet comprising MC J.B. (Juana Burns, b. unknown), Baby-D (Dania Birks, b. unknown), and Sassy C (Michelle Franklin, b. unknown). They were one of the original acts signed to Ruthless Records by Eazy-E. Their hit single "Supersonic" and the album Supersonic were certified gold.
