Kid n Play

Kid 'n Play was a hip-hop and comedy duo from New York City that was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The duo comprised Christopher "Kid" Reid (born April 5, 1964 in The Bronx, New York City) and Christopher "Play" Martin (born July 10, 1962 in Queens, New York City). Besides their successful musical careers, Kid 'n Play are also notable for branching out into acting.
Kid 'n Play recorded three albums together between 1988 and 1993:
Kid's visual trademark was his hi-top fade haircut, which stood six inches high at its peak. Play regularly wore eight-ball jackets.

Three of the Kid 'n Play films were entries in the House Party series. The first two House Party films (1990's House Party and 1991's House Party 2 also featured the then-relatively unknown Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell, later stars of the TV sitcom Martin). House Party 3 featured hip-hop/R&B girl group TLC as the music group Sex as a Weapon.
Class Act, produced in 1992, was a comedy in the same vein as the House Party films. For that film, Kid cut his trademark high-top fade (the haircut is used as a plot device in the film).

The Albums they released where:

1. 2 Hype (1988),
2. Kid 'n Play's Funhouse (1990),
3. Face the Nation (1991).
