Have You Heard of the Cool Kids?

What do you get when you pair a rapper from Illinois with another person from Michigan? You get nothing, but the electromagnetic, hip-hop fusion of The Cool Kids. The Cool Kids are a hip-hop group, which consists of Antoine "Mikey Rocks" Reed and Evan"Chuck Inglish" Ingersoll. The duo, who were inspired by Eric B. and Rakim, met when
Mickey Rocks wanted to purchase a beat from Chuck English. On a whim, the duo had an undeniable chemistry that would lead them to actually recording for hours upon meeting each other. After that, The Cool Kids formed and released a few mixtapes to get a buzz going. The two were signed to the independent label Chocolate Industries, in which they have their own label called C.A.K.E Recordings.



The hip-hip duo are doing things their way and independently. In fact, they have generated a significant buzz online and throughout myspace. They have collaborated with artists, such as British rapper M.I.A and also Lil' Wayne on a track titled "Gettin It," which features DJ Benzi.

On May 21, 2008, the group released their second EP The Bake Sale, which contains about ten tracks and features the hit single "Black Mags." The single was featured on a Rhapsody commercial.



Their debut album When Fish Ride Bicycles, will be released this year. In the meantime, check out their new EP The Bake Sale and keep your eyes on this exciting hip-hop group, which is set to take the industry by surprise.
