The Cool(est) Kids


"Like T-bones on the top shelf, its high steaks"-The Cool Kids


I can't tell if I'm late or new with this discovery but I've found a new hip hop group to hype up. The Cool Kids are sure to be the next big thing this year. With the the fashion sense of MC's being just as important lately as their lyrical ability, these guys got a running chance at success. These fly b-boys have style but definitely the music to back it up. Not just outfits, but these guys are outfitted with talent. I checked out a few of their songs and I quickly was intrigued. My favorite song of theirs has to be "Gold and a Pager". This track has to be one of those dope bangers. With retro beats remixed for '08 heads, this hard ass beat makes you want a 5.0 like Cane in Menace. 80's heads like me can appreciate the simplicity of a knocking beat. Not saying these guys are killing in the lyrics game but who cares. These days rappers are no longer complex and returning to the art of being an MC. Just moving the crowd and finally having fun is something thats refreshing from new artists. I could see these dudes rocking a GITD tour sometime soon. Check out their myspace page /gocoolkids.com. GO COOL KIDS!!!Plus check them out at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival May25th. I'll keep u posted on the show.
