An evolution of teen hip-hop that shows maturity and ambition.
This is the third album produced by Jermaine Dupri. They have shed their teen duo image and broken new ground with a sound that fuses R&B and hip-hop. Their sophisticated production and lyrical growth are notable.
A departure from the pop style of her previous albums, this album fuses the fluidity of R&B with a street-inspired feel. "Tonite's the Night" features Aaliyah and other artists, delivering a strikingly mature vocal arrangement. The mellow texture and bass-heavy track throughout reflect the hip-hop trends of the mid-'90s. The lyrics shift from a symbol of youth to a sense of independence, and Jermaine Dupri's production perfectly captures this growth. This album marks the pinnacle of Kris Kross's career.
