The Cool Kids – When Fish Ride Bicycles (Review)

The Cool Kids

When Fish Ride Bicycles

Released by Green Label Sound


Suffering through a delayed album release is pretty much a hip hop right of passage, especially when you’re heavily buzzed about and regularly being tagged as a next big thing. For some acts this delay is deadly.
