New video for “Drops,” the first leak from Chuck Inglish’s Droptops mixtape (May 23rd), precursor to his upcoming Convertibles album dropping this Summer.

I realized sometime this week that the next available "lounging around" time I have will be May 18th. Too many people have been coming up to me in work during the past couple of days saying that I'm scaring them - I'm apparently being too quiet and not my usual loud and rowdy self. Starting a couple of weeks ago and going through June, our suppliers are descending on the corporate office in which we sell them thousands of dollars worth of marketing programs. It's a different stress level than I'm used to only because there's no time to [...]

Coachella has wrapped up, but the good folks at Dim Mak are keeping the party going.

The show is going down tomorrow, April 23 at Dim Mak Studios on 6356 Hollywood Blvd., so you need to get your entries in by 8pm PST. Good luck! Here's how to enter the contest: [...]

Sometimes liking pages on Facebook can crowd your newsfeed until you get so bored of the latest t-shirt on sale with the band's lyrics on it that you unlike them. Or sometimes you can find gems like this: Blended Babies - Same Old Tears The Cool Kids have been updating their page lately with news on Sir Michael Rocks' upcoming release, "Banco." His last EP kinda left me cold because I was hoping for shades of "The Bake Sale" - an amazing album that took me through two breakups, an amazing set at SXSW, and [...]

Last Thursday, Fake Shore Drive joined forces with Red Bull for 120 Hours In Austin , which took place during the now mandatory festival for musicians, South By Southwest. The lineup featured many of Chicago's heaviest hitters including ShowYouSuck, Chance The Rapper, Spenzo, L.E.P. Bogus Boys and The Cool Kids. Master P was our headliner, and the Colonel and his newly revamped No Limit soldiers did not disappoint. If you missed the show, we feel sorry for you, but we do have some [...]

Courtesy of Q Hefna Thursday afternoon, The Cool Kids got the band back together at the FSD and Red Bull '120 Hours In Austin' #SoundSelect concert.

Artwork by Hebru Brantley With the festivities in Austin, TX now less than a week away, it's only right that we bring to you our official lineup for 120 Hours In Austin. Fake Shore Drive was selected as one of five curators from across the country to host a show in Austin next week, so you know we had to bring you the best in Hip-Hop. We obviously have to rep for Chicago, with a bill stacked with some of the Chi's finest, but we also grabbed a special guest headliner, who is known to the [...]

With this new visual, Mickey Rocks has announced that he's working on an EP entitled Banco that should drop sooner than later. In the Mars...-directed video, we actually get to preview a track from the project and it leads us to believe that we might get Banco's best solo-work yet.

We took notice of Fullerton’s The Steelwells magnificent anthem to the seas in “El Captain”. Now the indie rock 5-piece return with a 4 song EP called Cool Kids . Their soaring melodies, over at atmospheric environment are evident everywhere on this, providing quite a wonderful listen. The title track shows off such a sunny day laid-back vibe, it’s hard not to be intoxicated from the breaking synth waves.”Hands Up” is an energetic piece of spacey rock that never fails to make one bop their head uncontrollably. “Isolabella”, a beautiful escape breezer again [...]

Onra treated us with a demo version of "Hold Tight" that features Chuck English from The Cool Kids . The single was strictly instrumental on his recent Into The Night EP, and it's intriguing to hear what could have been if they'd been able to finish it in time for the release. You can still grab Into The Night on Amazon for only $4.95.

One of the most notable acts to rise to fame from MySpace to the mainstream, Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks have announced they are breaking all ties from the group The Cool Kids. Here's what Sir Michael Rocks officially had to say via AllHipHop : "I don’t think we’re gonna come out again as The Cool Kids. We might come together as something else different, but as The Cool Kids, no, because we’re not the same people, we’ve changed and evolved into two different artists. We can’t come back and do the same [...]

I know most of us are probably bummed out about Mickey Rock's statement on when The Cool Kids would release another project, nonetheless here's something that might help you ease the pain (or make it worse).  Here we have an extremely rare video for their track "Champions", which made its way into the internet. The joint was featured in the 'Gone Fishing' mixtape and a fan-favorite since it dropped, so I'm really glad we got to see this unreleased gem directed by GL Joe and HYSTK. CHAMPIONS from Æ • [...]

Para celebrar os bons tempos de The Cool Kids. Hoje mais cedo foi publicada uma entrevista em que Michael Rocks e Chuck Inglish disseram ser improvável voltarem a trabalhar no projeto. Como despedida resolveram soltar o vídeo produzido há mais de dois anos para a faixa Champions , da mixtape Gone Fishing .

The Cool Kids have released the   long -overdue   visual for ‘Champions’, off the duo's  Gone Fishing  project from 2009. The Cool Kids – Champions Video is a post from: That Hip Hop Blog

Well, folks, it looks like we'll never hear another project from the Cool Kids ever again. At least, that's what one half of the duo, Sir Michael Rocks , has made clear in a new interview with All Hip Hop. In response to a question about a rumored  Shark Week project, the rapper formerly known as Mikey Rocks said the following: I don’t think we’re gonna come out again as The Cool Kids. We might come together as something else different, but as The Cool Kids, no, because we’re not the same people, we’ve [...]

In a recent interview with AHH, Sir Michael Rocks stated a Cool Kids LP will not be coming soon, and that the two need to be focusing on their solo careers at this time. Rock said, "You break us up, we’re still going to turn out nice as fuck separately, and when we come together, we transition that energy into making a dope record. Right now, man, I think we just need to be focusing on blowing up. Chuck needs to focus on his production; I need to focus on my solo stuff because it’s a different atmosphere, it’s a [...]

That's right... we never did get a video to Champions back in 2009. Hmmm.... Well, today the unreleased visual to The Cool Kids track has gone viral. This joint appeared on their Gone Fishing project.

Directed by GL Joe. Produced by HYSTK. This is the best video you've never seen. Filmed close to three years ago , this GL Joe and HYSTK masterpiece was shelved indefinitely for reasons unknown to me. If you remember, "Champions" was on The Cool Kids' heralded Gone Fishing project, and was the most talked about visual from the album. It was anticipated, then nothing happened. But today we must celebrate because it finally dropped. It's ironic that the video would drop today, seeing as Sir Mike just announced in an interview [...]
