- 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."
