Open Space: The Cool Kids | Mass Appeal

We've been rocking with The Cool Kids since they blew up off MySpace. The midwestern rap duo went their separate ways for a minute and it looked like they were done-which is why we're so excited about the release of their new (and hilariously titled) album, 'Special Edition Grandmaster Deluxe.' Shortly before the disc dropped, Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks stopped by MASS APPEAL HQ for some real talk in the Open Space chamber.
"We were both doing solo stuff," says Mikey, who infamously tweeted that the duo would never return a couple of years back. "I got the attention I was looking for," he admits.
"He had trolling intentions," says Inglish with a laugh. The inspiration for them getting back together came while the producer / rapper was tripping on mushrooms while watching Rap City clips and stumbled upon footage of Raekwon rapping on the toilet while Ghostface did all the hand motions. "That camaraderie back and forth between them two is why we said, 'We gotta bring that back,'" says Inglish, who sent the clip to Mike. They immediately knew it was time for The Cool Kids to re-form like Voltron.
"I didn't want to pay attention to nothing we done prior as a base on what to do now," says Inglish of the new release. "We saw what we wanted it to look like, the cover and all that shit-and we just worked backward. Like, 'Let's make the best album we can make. Let's not make what we think people want us to make.'"
Check the video up top to find out how they first got together and which of their favorite rap duos inspired them to do the damn thing.
