Last Thursday, Fake Shore Drive joined forces with Red Bull for 120 Hours In Austin, which took place during the now mandatory festival for musicians, South By Southwest. The lineup featured many of Chicago’s heaviest hitters including ShowYouSuck, Chance The Rapper, Spenzo, L.E.P. Bogus Boys and The Cool Kids. Master P was our headliner, and the Colonel and his newly revamped No Limit soldiers did not disappoint.
If you missed the show, we feel sorry for you, but we do have some pictures and videos to bring you up to speed. If you did make it out, we’d like to thank you for your support and hope you had an amazing time. Red Bull’s #SoundSelect presented by Fake Shore Drive will return in May with another crazy lineup, so stay tuned for more details.

With the festivities in Austin, TX now less than a week away, it’s only right that we bring to you our official lineup for 120 Hours In Austin. Fake Shore Drive was selected as one of five curators from across the country to host a show in Austin next week, so you know we had to bring you the best in Hip-Hop. We obviously have to rep for Chicago, with a bill stacked with some of the Chi’s finest, but we also grabbed a special guest headliner, who is known to the world as the Colonel of the Tank. Yeah, we had to do that.
As well as P, The Cool Kids are back again for a reunion show of sorts, and are joined by the L.E.P. Bogus Boys, Chance The Rapper, Spenzo and ShowYouSuck.
We give you the FSD guarantee that it will be one of the best shows of the week, chock full of surprises and special guests. Trust us when we say this is something you won’t want to miss.

Video: The Cool Kids – Champions [Unreleased]
Directed by GL Joe. Produced by HYSTK.
This is the best video you’ve never seen. Filmed close to three years ago, this GL Joe and HYSTK masterpiece was shelved indefinitely for reasons unknown to me. If you remember, “Champions” was on The Cool Kids’ heralded Gone Fishing project, and was the most talked about visual from the album. It was anticipated, then nothing happened. But today we must celebrate because it finally dropped.
It’s ironic that the video would drop today, seeing as Sir Mike just announced in an interview that The Cool Kids name was dead. Not the group, or them working together, but the name. I hope that’s not the case, because their group name was a great one. But at least the two of them working together isn’t a dead issue. The game needs them. Together.
Also, GL Joe just dropped a dope ass video ‘best of’ reel (you know how he does). Hit the jump to check it out, as it was scored by Tree.
Sir Michael Rocks Says There Won’t Be Another Cool Kids Album
In a recent interview with AllHipHop, Sir Mike says that a new Cool Kids album is no longer a possibility. Peep what Michael had to say below:
AllHipHop.com: I think last time you talked to AllHipHop.com, you said you wanted to put Shark Week to the side and wanted people to focus on the solo work which, like you said, have been doing. But I think it’s fair to wonder about the future of The Cool Kids as a group because of the precedent you set as a duo. Chuck’s beats are heavy in demand, and you’ve been getting downloads on your solo work as well, but is there the chance of another Cool Kids project down the line, whether that be Shark Week or something different?
Sir Michael Rocks: No [laughter]. I don’t think it’d be “The Cool Kids”; I don’t think we’re gonna come out again as The Cool Kids. We might come together as something else different, but as The Cool Kids, no, because we’re not the same people, we’ve changed and evolved into two different artists. We can’t come back and do the same thing again, you know? We’ll probably do something else, but as The Cool Kids and asShark Week, no, those ideas are done, and we’re on to something different now. I wouldn’t do that; I think that would be a step backwards to go back and do that right now, so as far as I know for now, no I wouldn’t see us doing another Cool Kids project as “The Cool Kids”.
Rapsody f/ The Cool Kids & Mac Miller – Roundtable Discussion
Produced by 9th Wonder.
Sir Michael and Chuck join Mac Miller on Rapsody’s second single from her forthcoming The Idea Of Beautiful. After hearing this one, I definitely want to hear The Cool Kids over more production from 9th.
Pics: The Cool Kids, King Louie, YP & Malik Yusef In The Studio
Sir Michael Rocks, Chuck Inglish, King Louie, Tris J, Malik Yusef, DJ Sean Mac, Don C., Caleb James & Chance The Rapper in the same studio? Alongside Windy city producers Nascent, Tye Hill & Xtreme? Can’t wait to hear what comes out of this one.

Video: The Cool Kids the Face of LRG’s 2012 Summer Campaign
LRG has tapped Sir Michael Rocks and Sir Charles to rep their 2012 summer line, alongside the cast of Comedy Central’s series Workaholics. Their “we don’t grow up, we beast out” tagline is alive and well in this clip. Looked like a good day.

Last month, Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael hit Park City, Utah to perform at the Bing Bar during the Sundance Film Festival. Their set was super slick, and luckily we now have some footage. See how it all went down above.
