The Cool Kids - Gas Station
Artist: The Cool Kids
Featuring: Bun B
Producer: Chuck Inglish
Album: When Fish Ride Bicycles
Label: Green Label Sound
We’ve already come a long way with The Cool Kids as they prepare to (finally) release their debut album. In February, it was still chilly enough for group members Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks to Bundle Up, a far cry from the attire they rocked on June release Swimsuits. And now, as the days turn from warm to really f**king hot, they’ve got nothing to do but cruise the streets of their city until they have to hit the Gas Station. While the production at first sounds like another trademark minimalistic, percussion heavy beat from Inglish it’s quickly layered with soul guitar lines and lush vocal harmonies, a sound that was perhaps influenced by the smooth riding style of UGK. Or maybe I’ve just got UGK on the brain after hearing Bun B open with a supremely cool, almost a cappella verse on the opening, followed by a slow paced verse from Sir Michael. If I can be allowed an interjection of personal opinion here, Gas Station might just be the best work from The Kids yet; if this doesn’t get you itching for the release of When Fish Ride Bicycles on July 12, I’m not sure anything will.

While I (respectfully) disagree with my counterpart Nathan (see above) that "Gas Station" is arguably the duo's best Booth-featured record of all-time (not his exact words, I know), it both shows their growth (click on their artist page and take a trip back to 2007!) and maturity as a recording act. And the DOPE Bun B opening 16 doesn't hurt either. It sounds like the fish have removed the training wheels for good...

This joint knocks. Bun B was the icing on the cake. Chuck Inglish never disappoints when behind the boards.

Bun B did great but i felt that the beginning dragged on and the cool kids really sounded weird on the beat (in my opinion)
