Anyways, check out this episode with The Cool Kids in New Orleans. Unfortunately there isn’t an embed link to you’ll have clickity click on over there to check it out.
Nitro wear. Man…Japanese Wu Tang right here. That’s a pretty big claim actually…but they have been around for a long time with MC’s who have gone to release solo projects and become well respected in the Rap industry. They look hard but I don’t know why…if I had a gold microphone, I would be smiling all damn day. All damn day…
Yooooooo! If you missed Mos Def the last time he came and your kicking yourself for not going like I am…then here is your chance. Mos Def will be performing at Flames Central on Tuesday, August 25. I do like Flames Central as a venue, I just hope that the sound is better than it was for Talib Kweli…I was all “What song is this? What? What?…most of the time. Mos Mos!

The day came to see Cadence Weapon and I was kinda feeling crappy…tired…sad…and emo…just kidding. More so the first two. But we still got the crew together, picked up Patro and Gigi, and Don (Tha Perch Crew) and went up to the Marquee. By the time I got there I was stoked again. But who the hell cares about how I was feeling…I know you don’t…
The opener for Cadence was Woodhands. They were really really good. I aint never heard of them before but they were solid. Just rocked it out on the Keytar…damn I wish I had one of those… Read More »
Yo, Chigago/Jersey Duo, Kidz In The Hall has released their second album in May 2008 called “The In Crowd.” With big acts and big hype behind their name, Naledge and Double O have most defiantly made a solid foundation for themselves. Remixes feat. Pusha T, BUN B, and The Cool Kids is a good ender to the Cd thats for sure. Its a dope addition to the Hipster Rap genre (if you wanna clump it in there), with solid Read More »
It seems a little late to be doin a “The Cool Kids” cd review but Ive come across so many people that still haven’t heard of them, so I thought i would put it up here so that people can hear them.

Did you know Cadence Weapon aint his real name? Cause if it was…then checking in at the airport as Mr. Weapon aint gon do no good nahmean’. His name is Rollie Pemberton and he from Edmonton. I read in his interview that he met Ghostface and he didnt know what to say. I understand that feeling cause Ghostface is my dad and he is quite intimidating. Sometimes I don’t know what to call him and accidentally call him Mr. Tony Wallets and mix Tony Starks aka. Ironman with Read More »
