Just heard the story (from JD) about discovering them at a mall in ATL. Had no idea they were magnetic as hell and cool but not singers and had no plans whatsoever to be stars.
Thanks for reading Eric. Your name is familiar. I think I’ve seen it online. But yeah, Kris Kross were definitely ‘magnetic’. They had a massive impact on me in London, UK.
I still think of their song every time I miss a train or bus.
Same here. The “I Missed The Bus” song
is embedded in my brain now.

Maybe the podcast world (I work for WaitWhat now) or maybe through Kam - we worked at BRFootball together for a long time!
That’s it. I’ve heard your name through Kam. Great to be acquainted.
Loved reading this bro, and man...THE CHART SHOW! What a time machine - appreciate you putting this all down for us.
The part that struck me the most was the familiar rap journey of keeping it a secret.
And you found rap to be a release for your inner world (paraphrasing, but correct if wrong).
I just want folks who write or freestyle rap realize they don't have to stop if you make into a practice (like yoga) not just a product.
