Gone Fishing was soooo close to making my must-hear albums of 2009 list, and it looks like this end-of-year surprise from the makers of it is a sign that it should have. These 4 tracks are titled a “Merry Christmas Mixtape”, but it’s not a very good description. They don’t have anything Christmas-y, but they’re [...]
I have a bunch of hip-hop for ya’ll today. Here’s a mash-up of the Cool Kids vs. Hey Champ, a band that toured with Lupe Fiasco a while back– they’re a rock/pop band but with an electronic-heavy sound. The remix has a really cool vibe, definitely worth the listen if you like the Cool Kids, [...]
I deserve some serious punishment for not posting this earlier. This mixtape is simply monster. With Don Cannon on production, those minimal beats we thought were trademark Cool Kids have been put on hold (until When Fish Ride Bicycles maybe..), giving way to a richer, more complete sound. And lyrically it simply soars. I couldn’t [...]
A bunch of big names are slated to play the second All Points West Music & Arts Festival in New Jersey the last weekend in July. Lineup is below. Tickets go on sale this Friday (4/4) at noon via Ticketmaster. They are $89 for a single day ticket and $199 for a three-day pass. A [...]
The Cool Kids’ follow-up to the underground success The Bake Sale is called When Fish Ride Bicycles, a name whose coolness we probably won’t understand till we hear it. “Pennies” may or may not be part of it (they said they’re not on a tight schedule by any means, they’re just releasing songs when they [...]
The Cool Kids have “blessed” our holidays us with a deviation from their usual but fitting minimalist beats with a highly electro track they recorded with Kenna. No room for criticism here, they pull it off seamlessly. Save this link to download.
Young Jeezy’s producer Don Cannon has been working with the Cool Kids on their first full-length, When Fish Ride Bicycles, and here’s proof: If the album drops before the year’s end like it’s supposed to, it could easily make our top albums of 2008, which by the way is in the making. Expect it late [...]
The Black Cab Sessions eclipsed the 50 chapter mark with The Cool Kids, hip-hop duo from Chicago that popped up in 2007 with their Totally Flossed Out EP, then the critically acclaimed Bake Sale earlier this year. They’ve been making their rounds, performing at the Pitchfork Music Festival, and in general just gaining mad popularity. [...]
Bringing old school back to the new school, The Cool Kids debut their newest single “Delivery Man” to your visuals. The duo released The Bake Sale earlier this year, with highlight tracks “What Up Man”, “Black Mags”, and “Gold and a Pager”. It’s definitely worth a buy/download if you can’t seem to find anything unique in [...]
Another legit performance by Chicago’s Cool Kids, live at the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival. Over the past few months, The Cool Kids have been given a huge amount of hype in the alternative hip-hop blogosphere, which is really not that surprising. Their old-to-new-school beats fit seamlessly with their light-hearted self-praising lyrics to produce an extraordinarily [...]
