Africana Studies is honored to announce that the iconic rap duo Kid ’n Play will be inducted into the Berklee Hip-Hop Hall of Fame.

Kid 'n Play ventured into film, comics, and animation, building on their musical success. Their breakout role in the House Party franchise further solidified their stardom.
