Mixerr Album Reviews #596

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Somethin 4 Da Youngsta's by the Philadelphia trio of teen rappers called Da Youngsta’s.

Not too similar to Kris Kross is Philadelphia trio Da Youngsta’s, however Da Youngsta’s have similar comparisons to Onyx, Lords of the Underground, Quo, Nas, and Mobb Deep. While the album met the bar for 90s production standards with catchy percussion, shortened jazz samples, funky basslines, and hard East Coast boom bap beats, their debut effort was overshadowed by other kiddie rap groups such as Kris Kross, Da Funky Bunch, Illegal, and Quo. All of the material is age appropriate for children with the subjects being about childhood, cartoons, school, partying, dancing, and bullying.

Charisma and talent are what lead to hip hop heads buying this album despite the Da Youngsta's being aimed for the mainstream. This is early-90s hip hop at its finest.
I rate this album, Somethin 4 Da Youngsta’s, 4/5****!!
