PRESS ON THE COOL KIDS
“From their rope chains to their spare, bass-heavy beats, Chuck and Mikey bring a knowing wink to the style of Eighties heroes like Eric B and EPMD.” – ROLLING STONE
“Hip-hop is having large-scale Tribe Called Quest flashbacks, and these two Chicago smart alecks do it best.”- GQ MAGAZINE
“When it comes to the art of turning a hook into a manifesto, the Cool Kids do it proper.” – FADER
“In everything they do, from music to style, The Cool Kids are meticulous. They’ve honed a refreshing signature sound, equal parts throwback formalism and contemporary swagger-the ease of Tribe, the texture of Gang Starr, in the shadow of Pharrell.” – VIBE MAGAZINE
“Balancing a DIY mentality with a good ear for catchy hooks (“Black Mags” and “88”, especially) the Cool Kids have the ability to please both sides of the fence-which is exactly what the hip-hop world needs.” – ALTERNATIVE PRESS
