The Cool Kids have been pushing the envelope of music and fashion since the debut of their first single "Black Mags" and their breakout album, The Bake Sale. Chicago’s Sir Michael Rocks first linked up with Chuck Inglish back in 2005 during the height of the MySpace era. Often credited with ushering in the Blog Era and shaping the sonic style and swagger of a generation, The Cool Kids are still as fresh as ever while still giving fans a taste of the 808-studded production that catapulted them to critical acclaim.

On their latest album, Hi Top Fade, Sir Michael Rocks and Chuck Inglish prove that they are veterans of the game, effortlessly rapping over vintage The Cool Kids production while simultaneously showcasing their growth as MCs and producers. Enlisting the help of friends like A-Trak, Sango, Radamiz, Pink Siifu, Seafood Sam, and more, The Cool Kids deliver a 15-track, no frill project that exemplifies why fans have been rocking with them for decades.

There are songs that will make you dance, there are songs that will make you laugh, and there is even an 80s R&B ballad to close the album out with the help of Diamond Cafe. With the Cool Kids, you never know what to expect, and that is why they continue to stay fresh year after year.

When asked about the project, Sir Michael Rocks says, “Hi Top Fade, is a special one for us. We feel like the timing couldn’t be better. We’ve gone through a lot as friends, and as men these past few years. Those experiences and lessons have led us to this point, where we know what our strengths are and what we have to offer the world.”
