The Cool Kids have been shaping culture and rap music for nearly 20 years. Now, they’re ready to shed light on a new generation of cool kids doing just that. Join Sir Michael Rocks and Chuck Inglish as they head down to New York City’s Lower Eastside to highlight two spaces that have been building community through music, art, fashion, food and coffee: LAAMS and Café Colmado.
Chuck English: Get off the internet and grow a beard. Go outside.
Sir Michael Rocks: Yo. What it do? What it do? Sir Michael Rocks.
Chuck Inglish: Chuck Inglish.
Sir Michael Rocks: We are The Cool Kids, man. We out here kicking it in the LES with Billboard today. Why don’t y’all take a walk with us, man?
Chuck Inglish: You know what’s cool? Community. So today, we’re gonna be taking you to a couple of spots in New York’s Lower East Side, where they’ve been building in real-life community in the wake of a society that’s becoming more and more isolated. We know this sounds ironic — get off the internet. Come outside with us.
Stevie Skytel: What’s up? Y’all, we live in the Lower East Side at the home base LAAMS on 74 Orchard St. I’m with my man, Scott Selvin, Stevie Skytel self, and we honored with the privilege to be here with The Cool Kids. Chuck Inglish, Sir Michael Rocks, you know, we gonna go ahead and just bring out through the day with us.
Sir Michael Rocks: Yeah, follow us around, man, we’re gonna chop it up. Show, y’all some guests. Show y’all what we’re about to do later on at the pop up, catch a vibe.
Stevie Skytel: Yeah, so let’s start off on the first floor, right here. So on the first what world, how you doing today? All right, that’s good. So look, so we live at LAAMS. I mean, on the first floor right here is where we have a bunch of, like, vintage magazines.
Keep watching for more!
