Let’s Rewind Back To A Time When EveryTING Was Alright
As 90s Hip-Hop fans mourn the sudden death of Kriss Kross’s Chris Kelly, we’re set adrift on a memory bliss of the days when the Don Dada and the Mac Daddy were labelmates on Columbia Records. As soon as they dropped “Jump,” the kids from ATL with the Totally Krossed Out gear became the biggest thing in rap for a hot minute. Quiet as it’s kept, their success is what helped jump-start Jermaine Dupri’s SoSoDef empire. True heads recall that Super Cat appeared on an official remix of the tune, back when hip-hop reggae was a fresh exciting concept. But it wasn’t until Kriss Kross’s sophomore set that they had the opportunity to make a proper single with the Wild Apache, who came through big like he always does. (“Alright” ranks right up there with the slept-on hook Cat did for Sugar Ray’s “Fly.”) Cat and Kriss Kross even shot a video, which you need to watch right now. Thank us later. Video After The Jump…

Pree The Outlook Boat Party Mix
Our peoples at The Heatwave made this remix on a boat party in Croatia this summer. We’ll let them tell the tale… “We were so inspired by the beautiful women and their amazing dancing on our Hot Wuk boat party at Outlook Festival that we made a special refix in the heat of the moment floating on the Croatian ocean. The response was crazy and we NEARLY fell off the boat from all the scandalous excitement, but luckily we survived and managed to make it home with the laptop and MP3 intact.” While you rock to this, check out RGAT’s exclusive interview with Gabriel from The Heatwave.
