26 Apr Sir Michael Rocks – Premier Politics 1.5 | Mixtape Review
Last September one half of The Cool Kids, Mikey Rocks or Sir Michael Rocks went on his lonely releasing his second mixtape Premier Politics, a decent yet flawed offering. During the recording process of that free-lease, an excess amount of songs were made in order for one tape, and remained unreleased - up until now, as he newest member of the Jet Life Recordings family aka the 'Top Notch Nautica Nice Guy' serves up those songs in the form of Premier Politics 1.5.
The year 2011 has been the year where many delayed/mythical albums have finally seen the light of day. From Saigon's impressive "debut" to the solid/disappointment that was Lupe Fiasco's LASERS (depending on your stance), it seems the power of an anticipated release isn’t enough to appeal to hold fans’ attention.
So it makes for an ideal time for Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish - better known as the Cool Kids - to drop their first studio album; especially considering the last four years the Chi-City tandem have provided tonnes of throwback dopeness on the world wide web but all under the guise of mixtapes and EPs, When Fish Ride Bicycles hopes to maintain the appeal of one of the few successful duos going strong in the game today.
