The Cool Kids' New Album Available For Stream

Long at last, The Cool Kids debut LP is complete. Due back in 2008, When Fish Ride Bicycles seemed like the album that would come out when Goldy actually left the bowl and hopped on a Huffy. But the wait is finally over, and with guest appearances by greats such as Ghostface and Travis Barker, it’s definitely a star-studded affair. If you’re eager to hear the album before its official release tomorrow, you can stream the completed record by “liking” Green Label Sound’s Facebook page. Or, it’s also available here, courtesy of Some Kind of Awesome. Wanna know what we...  read more

The Cool Kids: When Fish Ride Bicycles

On occasion, a musical act comes along that I want to like before I’ve ever heard a bar. Usually it’s because of buzz or backstory, but once in a while I preemptively root for a group based on their name alone. In the history of hip-hop, the names tend to be either somewhat literal or something of a parody, so when The Cool Kids (Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish) came along with a self-referential twist and ironic twinge to their chosen handle, I wanted to dig them before I ever heard a beat. Once I got a taste of their...  read more

Clipse to Tour with The Cool Kids

File this one under "just crazy enough to work." Starting in August, Clipse will team up with The Cool Kids for a short North American tour. Could this be the grand coming together of two previously mutually exclusive hip-hop worlds? In a couple months, will Pusha T be rocking a rad LOMO camera in Williamsburg while Chuck Inglish is feuding with Gucci Mane in Bankhead? Who knows, but the two groups also have a number of solo shows scheduled on the side, including The Cool Kids' jaunt through Australia with the Parklife Festival....  read more

Paste's Tax Refund Playlist: Cash Money Mix

The best thing about giving your money away is getting a bit of it back. Some people say that money can't buy happiness, but we respectfully disagree with this opinion; it definitely makes us feel warm, fuzzy and well-fed. If you aren't smiling when you get your tax-refund check in the mail, you might be a robot. In fact, you're most likely incapable of feeling emotion and Blade Runner's Rick Deckard is closing in on your mailbox as you read this. As you patiently wait for that refund check to arrive, whether you're making a wish list of goodies for...  read more

The Cool Kids to tour, release EP

Only four or five years ago, it may have seemed a little silly to write up a news item on an indie hip-hop group out of Chicago that hasn't even released a proper LP to date. Now, thanks to the wonders of the interwebs (and, yes, because their music is insanely catchy), The Cool Kids not only garner national recognition, they're...  read more
