Chi-town’s own The Cool Kids are featured in URB Magazine’s latest issue. The duo shares the cover with Roxy Cottontail-a beasty ass NYC promoter. URB goes in about how Mikey Rocks and Inglish first linked up and what their plans are for the future. For those virgins to the CK sound this article is a definite must read……he’s a nice snippet and vid for their new track “Black Mags”
“I didn’t even know what the fuck a hipster was,” says one half of the duo, rapper and producer Evan “Chuck Inglish” Ingersol. “I always did shit different, especially from other black kids. I came up the same way, but I didn’t dress or listen to none of the same shit they listened to. To go to a party with other black kids there, white and Hispanic kids there, and a Police song comes on and everyone knows the words, I was like, ‘Oh, this is tailor made for me.’ I didn’t know it was a culture with a title on it.”
“A lot of people always say to us, ‘How the fuck did ya’ll know what was going on back then?’” adds Ingersol, 23. “But that’s the same thing people say about sampling disco and soul and Earth Wind and Fire. That was what you were born on. Try having someone older than you tell you that’s not what you came up on. I’m a reflection—a spitting image—of the first couple songs that I heard.”
