Their frindship began in the first grade.Which is crazy because many people don’t keep friends for that long.They normally keep their friends from high school and that is probably it.The duo were discovered in a mall by 18 year old Jermaine dupri which is quite interesting .Jermaine dupri has played a big part when it comes to the discovering of Artist.The fact that Jermaine dupri was that young.And he became successful at that age already when it comes to discovering talent is quite impressive.Accoring to the duo they were not looking to be come artist.Which is insane to think now.Because they were not working towards that
Many people are trying to become Artist because it is their long life dream to be.He liked their style and he signed them to his label which was called So so def.They were the first Artist to be signed.The artists signed a deal Ruffhouse records.And recorded their first album called Totally krossed out.It was entirely produced by Jermaine dupi.And it was released in 1992 when they were still kids themselves.And it has sold 4 million copies.Jump was the song that was put on the map.The song Jump is written in an era that reflects the sound.It’s very catchy.
It will make you want to listen to the song all the time.Using certain world like Jump and making it sound good and catchy from a business point oif view it’s very smart.It will hit the chart Kids like jumping as a game .And social media didn’t take over that much.You were seeing kids jumping outisde and they can use this song as an anthem.the msuic videos for the album was also a success.Music videos were extremely important.You cluldn’t become a successful artist without putting in the effort.They won a billboard for best new artist.They went multi platinum.
They were kids getting all this success.Which is quite crazy to think.However , not supriisng because it was during the 90s.Kids are much easier to market lowkey especially during that time.People were always excited to hear the enxt big artist.They wantd to hear new talent.Especially if they are young talented and coming up in the Music industry.They are easier to market then anyone else.Thy also had a chance to go on tour with Michael jackson which is super impressive.Not that many young artist have that opportunity.They also had a cameon on Michale jackson jam song.They were doing very well.
Michale jackson is clearly someone thta keeps an eye out when it comes to talent.Imagine if he was still alive .Which talen t or artist would he be looking out for.It’s an answer that unfurtunately we will never know.When your that young getting this much attention.It can be quite crazy.And what Kriss kross went through during that time at there age really isn’t normal.They also made an apperance on R.U.N D.M.C down with the king. Tlc hats 2 the back.And there were featured in an episode.They also made an appearanc in differnt movies.They were also part of a campaign for sprite.
Their second album was released in 1993.And it went certified platinum songs like alright and also super cat did well.Their third album was released in 1996 and it went certified gold.They both pursie education studies engineering and even founded their own labels.After the late 90s it seemed like they disappeared and you didn’t really hear Music like that anymore.What do we think happen.Was the fame too much to handle because that can be the case.Fame can also be a drug when it get addictive .It’s very hard to get it out of yuor brain.Because it follows you everywhere that you go.
Chris keely ended up oassing away in 2013.And it’s quite crazy to think because he wa only 34 years old.He was vry young and still had a lot to live.Chris smith has kept a low profile.You don’t really see him doing interviews like that.For some people this is the kind of life that they want to live.And they should be respected when it comes to their decision.They shouldn’t be attacked at all for it.Sometimes supporters can get very entitled they want to know everything about your life.And then they become super invasive.And they want to stalk you it can get quite scary.
And that why being a star can be draining for some people .Kriss kross had to sacrifice their childoohds for other people enjoyment.And they probably wanted to enioy their freedom.From not doing music.No one would do it like them.And that is the honest truth.Things have changed in the music industry.Can people after a few years in the music industry afford to take a break in this generation because they feel like they have made enough impact.Probably not.Things are different which makes it difficult when it comes to the way that Music will be received by the world.They could turn it off very quickly.
You could put a lot of effort into something.And they can quickly say that they don’t likeit.That another thing.People are not putting in the effort when it comes to listening to a full body of work .They are rushing .Everything the process of listening to it complteely which is quite bad.However , This is what it has come to unfurtunately .People can be easily not entertained .And you can’t really do much about it.Because at the end of the day .Streaming controls evertything.They are consistently beign recommended by other people when it comes to new artist.
Kriss kross will always inspire a generation.Even after people will always appreciate them.Appreciation will always eb the case.Because thy have create music that generation after generation will always like.And that is the truth.When it comes to making music .There has to be a genral love for the craft.In ordr to be successful at it.And that is th truth.When it comes to the lack of success.It’s minly because of the fact that they don’t know how to grow and maintain the fanbse.That on is probably the hardest.because now you have to find ways iin order to be successful at it which is not easy at all
