Kris Krosses Over
Amy Linden, Hits, 25 May 1992
They're young, they're cute and they're selling more records than the law should allow. It's Kris Kross, straight outta Atlanta... and puberty. Thirteen-year-olds Chris Smith and Chris Kelly's catchy dance-hall/hip-hop single, 'Jump', is way-hot, topping HITS' Top 50 Singles chart along with their #1 album, Totally Krossed Out. With their "totally krossed-out style" and backwards-baggy-clothes look, the lads are, as the French might say, le slammin' stuff, monsieur. HITS' own Francophile and rock mom Amy "Oh My Oh" Linden is horrified to discover she's old enough to be the kids' mother.
