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. The hype gets to their heads and by the time their bloated debut gets out the door whatever they did to get noticed is no longer interesting or too many voices got in their ears and they’ve abandoned their spark to chase someone else’s because that’s now the flavor of the month. ...

Yelawolf – “Daddy Lambo” (MP3)

Like so many rising stars before him, good ole boy Yelawolf has evidentally been spending a lot of time sampling the finer life in Beverly Hills since he hit the stage about a year ago. Apparently dude hangin with Travis Barker was just the start of his Hollywood adventures. “Daddy Lambo” is tells the classic tale of when a country boy meets a girl from the 90210 who looks “nice with a diamond necklace.” Drama Beats delivers, uh, a beat that is dramatic. Trunk Muzik 0-60, drops in just six days—kinda a miraculously fast turnaround if you think about it. [via The Fader]

Travis Barker x Cool Kids “Jump Down” EXCLUSIVE (MP3)

Travis Barker and The Cool Kids have teamed up for a new track, “Jump Down.” But digging on this new cut is only the first half of the release. Download the track and you’ll get a free pair of 3D glasses to use to watch the video when it drops on Oct. 11. That’s not quite as cool as the 3D topless vivisection in Pirahna 3D, but it is pretty dope nonetheless.

Yelawolf Found Making Bangers With Travis Barker

URB Exclusive 

Aside from both being tatted up like nobody’s business, Yelawolf and Travis Barker now have something else in common: they have been in the studio working together. Yesterday, ‘Wolf met up with Travis at his recording studio on the left coast to knock out some new material.

Whether any of the magic they whip up together will be on his future album is still unknown, but with Barker’s unholy ability to smash drums coupled with the way that Yela’s creative process has changed in the past few months (by basically “mind-writing” songs bar for bar instead of writing rhymes down on paper), the world is definitely listening.

“I’ve been off the paper,” says Yelawolf. “It’s dope man. I thought it would be harder to do the flippin’ shit, with the double time, but …

Seventh Birthday Weekender Festival INSTITUBES x A-Trak Interview

April 9th and 10th marked the seventh birthday of Institubes, the electronic record label, home to artists Bobmo, Das Glow, Midnight Juggernauts, Para One, Orgasmic, Teki Tek, Surkin, and more. This year the label celebrated by hosting a tremendous music festival at Paris’s club l’Enfer, the massive underground lair that sees many a music event and party (although I imagine is not always easy to fill, at least not like Institubes did this weekend). The label was, however, looking to stay close to their interests and priorities: the music… A festival that was 100% independent, without any major sponsors, without printed flyers lining the streets, smack dab in the middle of Paris. And they did just that. The dual stages in the two connecting rooms of club l’Enfer were non-stop bumping while the various artists mixed, spun, played, and sang …
