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 (well, some have counted), a Saturday morning cartoon show and even a series of comic books for Marvel (so yes, technically speaking, 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 it's 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 Billboard Top 200 and RIAA certified gold status. Unavailable on vinyl for decades, Select Records presents 2 Hype in a colored vinyl pressing exclusive to RSD Black Friday.
