Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish make up The Cool Kids duo. The young Chicago based group have their debut album The Bake Sale, scheduled to release May, 20th 2008. While surfing the net, I stumbled across the group. I’ve been listening to them on imeem ever since.
The group reminds you of the Bay (Oakland) Area group, The Pack, with the cool geek boy swag of N.E.R.D, and while giving off this vibe, you can since a strong inspiration from Run DMC. They sport bright retro style clothes and rock fat gold chains all while ridding a Dyno bike with black mags. But that’s enough on their style.
The hot single Gold and a Pager records the ever so trendy screwed up effects, a hard beat, and a steady nostalgic melody that takes you back to playing Super Mario in your basement. The group isn’t all beats either. Chuck Inglish lays down the tracks and raps along side of his partner in rhyme, Mike Rocks making a very lyrical collaboration. Although the content of the lyrics consist of girls, bikes, afterschool activities, they are very captivating; in fact, I caught myself nodding my head to a couple of songs while writing this review. The Cool Kids are definitely going to be in the summer line up for 2008. Catch The Cool Kids on Imeem or MySpace at www.myspace.com/gocoolkids and the endless source for videos, YouTube.

I went to the cool kids show june 7th and i have a few videos up on youtube, im gonna be puting so more on. I recorded it with an 90 dollar digital camera, but the sound and quality is not that bad. You think you can put one or two up on the page or post some links or something? Thanks it would mean a lot to me. I want to expose these guys on youtube somemore. Thanks again.
This video is of “Black Mags”, but it’s really unique because they rap “Juicy” by Notourious BIG at the end, it was crazy. I want people to see this video since they did Juicy at the end.
