Album Notes & Community Reviews

Under the guidance of producer Hurby 'Luv Bug' Azor, the energetic duo delivered a highly successful, party-oriented hip-hop debut. The tracks combine tough boom-bap drum breaks with playful, incredibly catchy pop-rap lyrical exchanges. The massive crossover success of 'Rollin' with Kid 'n Play' solidified their status as highly marketable, mainstream architects of the late-eighties rap explosion.
