Kid Sister is Chicago. She makes rap music and works at a children’s clothing store slanging bibs and teething rings. Yes, her hype man J2K of Flosstradamus is her real brother, and yes that does rule. Together they took the Chicago music scene by storm rocking parties and causing all around dancefloor mayhem. This has been followed by tours with Kanye West’s DJ A-Trak. 2006 found Kid Sister rocking various shows from Chicago to Paris, including an appearance at the Pitchfork Music Festival. The media responded favorably, with features on MTV (“My Block”), Pitchfork, i-D Magazine, XLR8R, The New York Times, Billboard and the cover of URB’s “Next 1000” issue, among others. Building on the strength of this early response, Kid Sister hit the studio and released two singles on the Fool’s Gold label (“Control” and “Pro Nails”). Frequent international touring followed, including an appearance at Coachella, a sold out show at SXSW, and a full US tour with her fellow labelmates. Kanye West also took notice, adding a verse to her “Pro Nails” single (which he released on his “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” mixtape) and appearing in the music video, which will debut late 2007. With her first LP on the way in 2008 featuring A-Trak, Xxxchange of Spank Rock, and others on production duties, Kid Sister is taking this.
In 2008, riding high on the success of their single “Black Mags”, an appearance in a Rhapsody TV commercial and song placements in HBO’s Entourage and 2KSports NBA2K9 (Video Game/Tour), The Cool Kids were poised to make this their year. They brought their talents to Europe for the first time, returned to the US and released their debut EP The Bake Sale in June 2008. The EP launched their career to greater heights than ever and cemented their role as one of the most influential figures in contemporary hip-hop. They performed at Coachella, Lollapalooza, the Rock The Bells tour, shared a co-headlining spot with Q-Tip on the nationwide 2K Sports Bounce tour, and had their first national TV performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
2009 will find The Cool Kids taking their inventive brand of infectious hip-hop even further with their forthcoming LP When Fish Ride Bicycles. Starting off their year on a high note, The Cool Kids just released the video for “Pennies”, the first track to surface from the upcoming album.
