The Cool Kids

A rising talent in the indie hip-hop world, The Cool Kids are comprised of the duo of Antoine Reed (a.k.a. "Mikey Rocks") and Evan Ingersoll (a.k.a. "Chuck Inglish"), who met on MySpace and began creating beats together after meeting for pizza in person. The duo began to make headway as its first single, "Black mags," received extensive airplay on a television ad for the streaming music service Rhapsody.

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 together 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 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. It was eventually released on C.A.K.E. Recordings.
