Esquire talks with The Cool Kids about their attitude toward wearing hats
I have noticed that Sir Michael has been sporting snap-back fitteds for a while now and Chuck has always stayed with a throwback hat (i.e. Vintage Charlotte Hornets). An interesting read. Continue
Sir Michael Rocks Drops a Solo Mixtape (download link available)
So Sir Michael Rocks from the The Cool Kids decided to drop a solo mixtape entitled “The Rocks Report”. I got a download today and I’m surprised to hear what I’ve been hearing. This doesn’t sound like any of the Cool Kids prior mixtapes. I recommend a download and sync for now. Will be posting my thoughts on this joint after I get a good listen.
