Description
2 Hype in an opaque white vinyl
For a certain generation of hip hop fans, just the mention of Kid ‘n Play brings on a
wave of nostalgia. The group released three full-lengths between 1988 and 1991
with a focus on positive lyrics and pop friendly production. The success of the
group’s music lead to countless House Party films, a Saturday morning cartoon
show and even a series of comic books for Marvel (so, technically speaking, are
Kid ‘n Play are part of the Marvel Universe?)
It all started here on the 1988 full-length 2 Hype which features “Do The Kid 'n Play
Kick Step”, the musical accompaniment to their trademark dance, “Rollin’ With Kid
‘n Play” which hit number 11 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and of course Kid's
now classic hi-top fade haircut, which measured up to over six inches high at its
peak. Producer Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor, instrumental in the success of Salt-N-Pepa,
was certainly a factor and the full length went on to chart in the
Billboard Top 200 and to RIAA certified gold status.
