Chicago, United States (2005 – present)
The Cool Kids are a hip hop duo from Chicago, Illinois consisting of Antoine “Sir Michael Rocks” Reed and Evan “Chuck Inglish” Ingersoll (originally from Detroit). They are signed to the independent Chocolate Industries via their own label C.A.K.E. Recordings. After meeting in 2005, and releasing three mixtapes onto the internet through their MySpace page, they released their debut EP The Bake Sale in 2008.
The members of The Cool Kids met in 2005 when Reed found a beat on the internet that Ingersoll had produced. The two met to discuss terms of the beat’s sale, and eventually ended up recording for two hours. They were inspired by hip hop in the 1980s and artists like Eric B. & Rakim. Ingersoll began promoting the new duo’s material, and it was eventually booked by Josh Young of Flosstradamus for a DJ performance. At this performance (in a venue called Town Hall Pub), the duo met the electronic musician Diplo who offered to release a mixtape of their unreleased tracks titled Totally Flossed Out on his label Mad Decent, though it was eventually released on C.A.K.E. Recordings. They also received an offer from the DJ A-Trak to sign to his fool’s gold label, which they did, but only for one single.
Up until recently, all material had been released solely on the band’s MySpace page—their recording contract came after performances at the CMJ Music Festival and Pitchfork Music Festival, on July 15, 2007.

If anyone sees this, could you send me the song Flossin'? The one that came out a couple years ago, I have it, but it's in such low quality. Thanks, just PM me.

Say what you must about which you like more, but "when fish ride bicycles" is the most intelligent album these guys have put out.

as a big fan of 'The Bake Sale' it was hard for me to adjust to 'When Fish Ride Bicycles'. Initially I thought I didn't like it but after listening to it all the way through a few times it starts to grow on you. I now think it is an awesome record. An evolution for the cool kids.
