The Cool Kids (Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks) join Devon on the show this week to claim that space is overrated, give Prodigy’s lyricism its flowers, and revisit a classic from Ghostface Killah.

The Cool Kids are the American hip-hop duo of rappers Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks. Formed in Chicago in 2005, the group gained widespread attention for their minimalist, bass-heavy production, lyricism, and nostalgic style inspired by the golden era of 1980s and early 1990s hip-hop. Breaking out during the blog era with projects like “The Bake Sale,” The Cool Kids have collaborated with artists across hip-hop and beyond while constantly evolving their sound. Their project “When Fish Ride Bicycles” blends sharp storytelling, laid-back charisma, and inventive production into a style that remains distinctly their own.
