Da Bomb is the second studio album by the hip-hop duo Kris Kross, released a year after their first album Totally Krossed Out. The group tried a hardcore/gangsta look to fit with the new style of hip-hop. The album was not as successful as Totally Krossed Out, as many fans were not impressed with the new look and style and the use of the word "nigga" and reviews were mixed.[2][6] The line "I drop bombs like Hiroshima" from "Da Bomb" was edited out of the album's Japanese release and the artwork was completely changed. The album was certified platinum in the US.[8] Three singles were released, "Alright", "I'm Real" and "Da Bomb".
In his production for Da Bomb, Jermaine Dupri tried to update Kris Kross' sound, integrating the smooth G-funk of the moment.
