Merry Christmas

The Cool Kids

Four tracks of skeletal 808s and nonchalant flows. A minimalist hip-hop gift that trades holiday cheer for basement-thumping bass and effortless cool.

It's the most minimalist Christmas gift you'll ever get, and the bass might blow your speakers.

A cool, detached confidence that feels like walking through a cold city with warm headphones on.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The heavy, isolated bass thump on 'BBQ Wings' that feels like it's clearing your sinuses.
The effortless back-and-forth chemistry between Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks on 'Tires'.
The way the percussion on 'Free Throws' mimics the rhythmic bounce of a basketball on asphalt.
