"Parents who like rap and hip-hop have trouble sharing it with their kids, since most of it's inappropriate, so this cleaned-up version sung by kids is a safe, great introduction. The beats are fun and funky and well-crafted," said New York Post of Mr. Knowles' previous release, "Kid's Rap Radio." "Krazy Kuzins Hip-Hop Holiday Cheer" and "Krazy Kuzins It's A Kid's Thing" follow in the footsteps of "Kid's Rap Radio." The holiday cheer CD, in stores now, contains updated, hip-hop inspired holiday classics that are sung using original lyrics by kids for kids! The Krazy Kuzins, Jake, Abby G, John Mike and Jenny B, bring cool and hip songs to life as they rap about everything from Santa and Rudolph to their wacky Christmas lists. "Krazy Kuzins It's A Kid Thing," in stores November 20, 2007, boasts original tracks by the funky foursome children will enjoy jamming along with! As with Mr. Knowles' past parental-approved initiatives, Krazy Kuzins provide music that is cool enough for parents and clean enough for kids.
