Ok so maybe we're a year late...

I thought this interview was pretty funny. It was done a year ago...thought i'd share with my fellow bloggers.

You Don't Know Me: The Cool Kids
By Julianne Shepard

Straight up, the Cool Kids are diehard '80s babies who bring fresh, futuristic ideas to classic-style hip hop. Throwing minimal space-electro beats beneath their throwbacky jams - when was the last time you heard a young rapper shout out the Smurf with a straight face? - these cats sound extra smooth, slow-cadence gangster in their raps about BMX bikes and downtown b-boy bangers. Two Chicago based producer/rappers known as Mikey Rocks, 19, and Chuck Inglish, 23, the Cool Kids have been tearing it up onstage with their surprisingly hard stage presence, recently wrapping the Fool's Gold tour (with their Chi-City sistren Kid Sister), currently filling the opening slot for Sri Lankan-British toaster M.I.A. They're about to drop the "88 / I Rock" single on Fool's Gold Records (the label run by DMC Champ/Kanye West's DJ A-Trak and Jerz-or-die DJ Nick Catchdubs) with a full-length to follow in '08 on Chocolate Industries...

This is my story:

Mikey Rocks: I'm from the South suburbs of Chicago, and we met over myspace because I liked his beats.

Chuck Inglish: I'm from Detroit, but we moved to Chicago when I was like, 11. I broke my ankle in half and I couldn’t do nothing else, I was bed-ridden. I had to have two surgeries. And I had had a Sidekick and I had nothing to do all day except take Vicodins and play with my Sidekick. So I decided to rap. I had a lot of time to practice, because I just laid in a bed for 18 hours a day.
