If you haven't already heard of "The Cool Kids", you're certainly missing out on the next big thing in the making. The Illinois natives, known as Chuck and Mikey, have an 80's-90'ish kind of innovative sound, all their own. Perhaps this is because they do all their own shit. They discovered each other about a year and a half ago, by way of producing tracks. They then came up with the bright idea to join forces and start rapping as well. I guess you can say the rest is history. Often compared to the likes of Outkast, Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell, this hip hop duo prefers not to be categorized in any specific genre of music - Which explains how they came up with their name. According to their interview with Scheme magazine, Chuck states, with a title like The Cool Kids, "you don't know what to expect." I know I'm expecting to hear a lot more about these guys sooner than later. In the meantime, check out the new video for their single, "Black Mags."
