THE COOL KIDS,

chigaco's music scene has produced some of the greatest new rap and hip-hop artists of the last decade, and it looks to continue doing so going into the next. the cool kids are one of the newest acts to emerge that from chicagoan hip-hop. like a lot of fledgling groups, the duo have used myspace primarily to release their music, before recently getting signed by independent chocolate industries after a memorable performance at 2007's pitchfork media festival.

they toured opening for M.I.A and then on their own throughout this year, and to say their gradually garnering interest would be an understatement, touted by many music publications and listed in rolling stone magazine's "ten artists to watch in 2008". their debut album "when fish ride bicycles" will be out before the year's end.
