Bad Boys Inc: Naughty By Nurture
Steven Wells, NME, 3 July 1993
It's easy to be cynical about 'manufactured' Pop Stars, how it's all so easy for talentless young upstarts to get fame and fortune beyond their wildest dreams, but for every success there are thousands of failures. And even among the successes there are always casualties. In his never-ending quest to bring pop music the respect it deserves, STEVEN WELLS teams up with BAD BOYS INC so that you, the reader, can finally appreciate just how hard it is to make it big in the cut-throat world of Pop.
