The Cool Kids: The Bake Sale

The Cool Kids take a simple approach to rap that hasn't been heard much in the past twenty years. Without the benefit of expensive studio production, they sink or swim on the basis of their beats and lyrics alone. It is a testament to their considerable strengths in these areas that they do much more swimming than sinking. The content and subject matter are simple, too, as The Cool Kids eschew heavy or emotional topics in favor of light fare. This decision pays off handsomely, resulting in a stellar, fun party record.
