Kris Kross

Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith were the original child-prodigies of '90s hip-hop. Aged 13 and 12 years old respectively when this, their debut album, dropped, they set the world on fire with their up-tempo Atlanta-styled rap and seamless intra-verse hand-offs on track after jumpin' track. In particular watch out for "Jump," their 2x-platinum lead single that was all but ubiquitous in radios and clubs in '91. Combined with their unique influence on hip-hop fashion of the day-you can thank the precocious duo for the trend of wearing clothes backwards-their small stature belied big hits and even bigger reach from this amazing debut.
