New Kids On The Block: Hangin' Tough: CD

There's a reason Hangin' Tough keeps turning up in serious pop and funk-soul collections: New Kids On The Block made it count in 1988. New Kids on the Block are an American vocal group from Dorchester, Massachusetts. Initially conceived as a boy band, the group consists of brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood. Hangin' Tough is the second studio album by American boy band New Kids on the Block, released on August 12, 1988, by Columbia Records. It is widely regarded as the group's breakthrough album, gaining positive reviews for their musical transition from bubblegum pop to urban contemporary, blended with popular rock music. The group's label had planned to end their contract when their 1986 debut garnered little commercial and critical attention, which nearly led to their breakup.

It leans into hip-hop, rap in all the right places. On production, Maurice Starr kept things tight. A smart pickup for the pop and funk-soul collector.
