Kid 'n Play (Band)

Biography:

Kid 'n Play is an American hip-hop duo from New York City that was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The duo was composed of Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin working alongside their DJ, Mark "DJ Wiz" Eastmond.

Besides their successful musical careers, they are also notable for branching out into acting. The duo starred in five feature films all based around hip hop. Four of the Kid 'n Play films were entries in the "House Party" series. Their fifth film was titled "Class Act" and was also a hip hop comedy. Kid 'n Play even had their own NBC Saturday morning cartoon, "Kid 'n Play", for one season from 1990 to 1991.

Kid 'n Play were also notable for their dance known as the Kid n' Play Kickstep, first seen in their video "Do This My Way," and described in the song "Do the Kid n' Play Kickstep," from their first album, 2 Hype. Also affectionately known as the "Funky Charleston," it was influenced by the 1920s era dance The Charleston. The Kid n' Play Kickstep featured the new jack swing-aerobic dance moves typical of late 1980s urban street dancing. Unlike the original Charleston, The Kid n' Play Kickstep requires two participants instead of one. This dance also was made quite popular in Kid 'n Play's feature film House Party, in which Kid and Play have a dance competition with Tisha Campbell and A.J. Johnson.
