| dbo:abstract | - "Alright" is the first single released from American hip hop duo Kris Kross' second album, Da Bomb. The song was produced and written by Jermaine Dupri and features reggae star, Super Cat on the chorus. Sampling Slave's "Just a Touch of Love", "Alright" was officially released on July 13, 1993, as the lead single from Da Bomb and became the album's biggest hit, peaking at #1 in Portugal, and #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the duo's third single to reach #1 on the Hot Rap Singles ("Jump" and "Warm It Up" being the first two). "Alright" also contains a diss to rival group, Da Youngstas, who had been critical of Kris Kross due to their success on the Billboard charts and the fact that they did not write their lyrics. Chris Smith AKA "Daddy Mac" responded with the lyric "I didn't come out wack I came out right, unlike them moles who choose to pass da mic", an obvious reference to Da Youngstas single "Pass da Mic". "Alright" was certified gold by the RIAA on September 14, 1993, for sales of 500,000 copies. (en)
