The musicians are mostly unknowns, but the majority of them put out a style of quick speak-rap that defined Das EFX, though they aren't actually present on the album. Beyond the Das EFX-style rap, the second aspect common to the full album is a deep kick bass beat. The songs do show a bit of diversity, though, and the album is good for the intended audience and era (that is, the audience and era that pertains to the popularity of Kid 'N Play). All-star production includes contributions from the Beatnuts and DJ Quik, backing up the main artists (and actors) Kid 'N Play. Immature makes an early appearance on the album with "Wakes You Up." RAS Posse, on "Rock the House," sounds like a combination of House of Pain beats and Snow and Das EFX rapping. Most if not all of the Kid 'N Play tracks are simply party songs, call and response patterns, and the like. A few tracks include an attempt at light gangsta rap, though that seems to be foiled by the attempt at lightness. Overall, it's not a bad album, though there are certainly better albums within the genres similar to this one. Check out Snow's Twelve Inches of Snow, Das EFX's "They Want EFX," and maybe the Beatnuts' self-titled album. ~ Adam Greenberg Musical Guests TLC Kid 'N Play Sylk Smoov To Da Core Immature R.A.S.
