Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte fame appear to be branching out and have enlisted the services of many upcoming and established hip-hop acts for a mixtape that could end up being a half-decent listen, assuming the Maddens don’t start rapping.
It’s difficult for anyone to claim to be a true Good Charlotte fan with a straight face, but they’ve occassionally shown flashes of quality, with The River in particular being an excellent song. It is on the quality of that track I hold hope that the project might be decent, and features from the likes of The Cool Kids, Wiz Khalifa, Kreayshawn, Casey Veggies and many more are also encouraging signs that this could be worth a listen. The 12-track tape is available to both stream and download for free below.

The amount of bass in this track is ridiculous!
If you’re a fan of these guys, you’ll know they’ve always had a minimalist style and they stick true to that with little more than a simple percussion and heavy bass making up the production. Relaxed raps as always from Mikey and Chuck, with their effortless flow always being a treat on the ears. Play this one in your car at your own peril, this will probably make your tyres fall off.

Ever since the All City Chess Club was announced, there’s been a lot of hype as to what their first project/track would be. Many expected it to be the official I’m Beamin’ remix, and they would be right as Lupe gets some of the today’s better rappers together to improve an already superb track.
There is just too much to go through here, but from a quick listen I enjoyed Asher and Blu’s verses a lot. That’ll inevitably change with more listens, but you can’t go wrong with this collection of rappers.

A decent summertime video for Travis’ debut solo single. Nothing too extravagant, and has a really likeable old-school flavour to it that adds a new element to the audio.
Audio can be grabbed here.

Taken from Travis Barker’s upcoming album, this is a track that has that unique Cool Kids sound supplemented by Travis’ immeasurable drum skills.

I don’t like doing these as it doesn’t leave room for reviews, but time’s been a rare commodity this weekend and it’s not right to hold this material from you. Some big name material below, although keep in mind the star-studded Game track is an unfinished version and hence it’s not yet getting the headline feature you’d expect it to.

The Cool Kids (Mikey Rocks & Chuck Inglish) chop it up with Gowhere Hip Hop’s GY312 for an in-depth conversation about their first live show with live instrumentation at Reggie’s Rock Club, maintaining and progressing in their own lane, instant gratification and the WWE-esque aspects of the rap game, influencing others, and “flodging”.

One more from the upcoming mixtape, which is probably going to drop any minute but I’ll have fallen asleep by the time it does (I’m writing this about 8 hours before you’ll read it!). Hence, I’m dropping off one more leak to tie you over until one of us posts the tape at some point today.
The Cool Kids-Neat ft. Tennille

This came out of nowhere. Within minutes of these two leaks reaching me, it was announced that the entire Tacklebox mixtape would be dropping later today. Works for me, as the inimitable Cool Kids style always makes for interesting listening. Head below to warm up with the first two leaks, and I’ll be sure to give you the entire mixtape later tonight.
The Cool Kids-Freak City
The Cool Kids-Fishing Lessons

Next up is a 4-track effort from The Cool Kids and DJ Don Cannon. The Cool Kids’ style is one which is (somewhat unfortunately) being pretty jacked in hip-hop right now, with their blend of old-school vibes and electronic elements becoming present in the music of many other acts.
You can preview the tracks below, and if you like it grab it for free from the same link.

I do really like The Cool Kids. No-one else in hip-hop has their sound: they’ve got creativity and originality whilst keeping it old-school.
Click below for a new track that features them. It’s actually a song by The Bloody Beetroots (?!) who I don’t know anything about, but assume they are electro producers as the beat is that way inclined, and The Cool Kids do all the vocals. Hit the click for a slice of electro hip-hop.
