On
a sadder note for the Hip-Hop community, it was brought to ourattention
that pioneering group member, Play, of Kid-n-Play recently attempted
suicide. Apparently he was bitter over a divorce, and the way
his career was going. Best known for his Raps, and his acting,
play is also a fashion designer, and did the groups clothes. His
latest endeavor was on a mixtape for Christian Rap label Grapetree
Records. If you have seen any of the House Party’s (minus 3, that
was wack, except for the appearance of TLC…ummmmm), or Class
Act, you know that the brother has acting Skills. Kid-N-Play may
seem corny now, but any of you old heads reading this remember
how bumpin their s### was. It fit with the times. They truly opened
doors for such acts as Puff Daddy, Mase, and Coolio to name a
few.
