Commercial performance

Somethin 4 Da Youngsta's failed to make an impact on the charts both album wise and single wise. The album/single was overshadowed by another teen-rap group Kris Kross, whose single Jump blew up over night. They found luck with their 2nd single Pass Da Mic remixed by Pete Rock and released in the summer of 1992. The single hit #10 on the Hot Rap Singles and hit 3rd most watched video on The Box.
