PEOPLE, Page 69Good Enough to RapBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
Wholesome is one word the NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK don't mind.
The Boston lads who sing a mix of soul and rap -- DONNIE WAHLBERG,
18, DANNY WOOD, 19, JOE MCINTYRE, 16, and brothers JON, 19, and
JORDAN KNIGHT, 18 -- have a cool-but-clean image that works. The
Kids have no fewer than three Top Ten hits from their LP Hangin'
Tough, which has sold more than 2 million copies. They're not to
be confused with another group of goody-goodies. "We're not like
the Osmonds," says Wahlberg. "We grew up around drugs and violence.
We had to make a decision not to go in that direction."
