Pump Up The Jam

They’re more likely to be on the Singles category in the future rather than an actual induction.

Ya Kid K was also in Hi Tek 3 ("Spin That Wheel" from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and soundtrack).

The band certainly belongs in the HOG

The duo released a major album that cultivated a dance element to rap with electro synth and electro percussive backdrops. Their highly unique sound of 88-91 was fully successful amid other explorative transitions in pop alongside SNAP, C+C Music Factory, DeeeLite and Blackbox, and YaKidK was a female rap lead embraced at a time when only MC Hammer and LL COOL J had a versatility for rap-radio pop success. This band opened for Madonna's highly successful global BLOND AMBITION TOUR. They belong in the R&R MUSIC HALL OF FAME, and I hope they get the same respect as say the Eurythmics, as they are also pioneers of a different side of a same coin in radio music history.
