The Cool Kids

The Cool Kids have always been ahead of the curve, with bangers like “Black Mags” and “I’m Mikey” defining their bass-heavy sound, as curated by producer Chuck Inglish. The duo, comprised of Chuck Inglish & Sir Michael Rocks, are releasing their first album since “When Fish Ride Bicycles” dropped back in 2011, with “Special Edition Grand Master Deluxe” on September 15 – that’s tomorrow. Ahead of their new album, they stopped by our NYC office to show us their unique way of rolling up. Chuck Inglish shows off a massive tobacco leaf (a Fronto leaf – sidenote – watch G Perico’s How to Roll to fully understand how to roll a blunt with the Fronto leaf, because what The Cool Kids do, is not that), which he then cuts out a little piece from. That piece will be used to line a joint paper, creating a blunt-joint hybrid, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. Have you? Are you a fan of this method if so? Let us know in the comments. As they proceed to roll, Mikey Rocks shares a story about getting stoned with Wiz Khalifa during the “Kush & OJ” era, which you don’t want to miss.

The Cool Kids sat down with VladTV to explain why they decided to part ways around 2011 and why they’ve now decided to come back together to do new music. They explained that the decision to split was based more on their money getting chopped up and feeling like they needed to start all over again. Sir Michael Rocks also spoke about telling people that they were never getting back together and trolling fans, which you can hear more about in the above clip.

Sir Michael Rocks and Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids sat down with VladTV to speak about their rap career taking off on Myspace after meeting on the social media site. They then moved into “Black Mags” being a pivotal point in their career, as it was featured in a national commercial for Rhapsody and pushed them to a new level. To hear more, including why they turned down a deal with Diplo and A-Trak, hit the above clip.
