-Full length to come in mid-2008
-On tour with M.I.A for all of November
The notoriously discerning Chocolate Industries will release the first music by the much talked about rappers Chuck Inglish (age 23) and MIkey Rocks (age 19) as The Cool Kids. Both rappers also produce tracks (the currently released tracks are all by Inglish) and are enjoying an early tour with M.I.A (see dates below).
“The Cool Kids are a breath of fresh air for me, the minute I met them, I knew I wanted to work with them.”
-Seven, owner of Chocolate Industries
We decided to go with Chocolate Industries as a label because we have options there. We’re easily understood, and it gives us the opportunity to work the way we have been working since we started. I respect the work they do.. and the music they’ve put out. We want to be able to evolve as artists, and in our minds this was the best place to do it.
-Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids
Chocolate Industries, who first brought you Lady Sovereign, is anticipating a big 08 with releases by The Cool Kids, the long awaited album by rapper Diverse and new signing Free Moral Agents.
EARLY PRESS:
“With their head-nod-inspiring boom-bap beats and clever lyrics in common language, maybe they’re just “bringing ‘88 back.” But something about it feels like the future.” -PITCHFORK
“their fresh, stripped-down sound definitely feels like it has a future.” -ROLLINGSTONE.COM
