Chicago, Illinois duo The Cool Kids have spent the last five years paving the way for a popular trend in combining elements of 1980s Hip Hop with contemporary presentation. Within that time-span, the group has only released one work, a 2008 EP, The Bake Sale through their longtime hometown label, Chocolate Industries.

Yesterday, via Twitter, The Cool Kids’ Chuck Inglish revealed that the group has severed ties with the label that was also once home to emcees Vast Aire and Diverse.
