Wednesday's are officially designated as Myspace Music day and this week I didn't have to scourer myspace for hours looking for someone to spotlight. A few days ago the guys over at hypebeast posted a link to an interview at the brillance featuring a group out of Chi-town called The Cool Kids. I'm usually very skeptical of these kids that run around claiming to be "retro 80's babies", because most of them were born in like 87-88. Sorry, but if you were born after '83 I really don't considered you an 80's baby. Well I don't know how old The Cool Kids are but apparently channelling the essence and the vibe of the 80's is their M.O. For that simple fact, I couldn't just dismiss them as another couple of teenagers with a computer claiming to be a rap group. The whole 80's sound is a bit refreshing and intriguing. The Cool Kids won't wow you with potent lyricism or even break your neck with their production but their swagger and energy blends well with their sound. You can tell they don't actually take themselves that seriously and they are just doing what they love to do. Check out their page: The Cool Kids
