I think it's fair to say that The Puppies were one of the greatest brother/sister lil' kid Rap groups of all time, although I can't think of many others. Even outside of this gimmick, The Puppies definitely hold their own and made an extremely entertaining party record in 1994, simply called The Puppies, which earned them a bona fide top-40 hit with "Funky Y2C":
The rest of the album lives up to, or exceeds the fun quality of "Funky Y2C," and the production, kept in the family and handled by their father and uncle Calvin Mills II and Carlton Mills, is pretty top notch. The beats will make you dance, and the bass will probably make you vomit if you stand too close to the speaker. Which is a good thing.
The members are made up of little brother Big Boy, who fills the Uncle Luke role in the group as the yelling guy who gets the party hype, and big sister Tamara Dee, who is more of a "rapper's rapper." All in all, this venture feels like the effort of a genuinely talented family rather than a couple kids being exposed by their parents. The Puppies handle diverse subject matter ranging from Summertime fun, puppy love (ha), and shaking booties. The lyrics are all clean of course, but it doesn't give you that nauseating Kidz Bop feeling, so it really is fun for the whole family. Enjoy!
