Pennies Music Video HQ - The Cool Kids from The Cool Kids on Vimeo.
Grand Rapids may sit a good 2.5 hours from the 'D, but that doesn't mean hip hop doesn't have a home here in Michigan's second largest city either.
Grand Rapids Hip Hop, a community geared toward bringing together hip hop fans and artists, is hosting a hip hop battle next month at the Intersection that is sure to be of epic proportions.
Self-proclaimed as the throw down of the year, GR Hip Hop is presenting The Cool Kids vs The Clipse in a live hip hop battle on August 25.
The Cool Kids are Mount Clemons-raised Chuck Inglish (born Evan Ingersol), and Chicago-native Mikey Rocks (real name Antoine Reed). They first started with the idea of mixing beats for other aritsts, but soon realized their own lyrics best fit their style and set off to record together.
The Cool Kids will face off against The Clipse, nationally-acclaimed Virginia-based hip hop duo of Malice (Gene Thorton) and Pusha T( Terrence Thorton). Together since 1991, the Clipse has had numerous Billboard hits, and worked with Timberland, Sean "Diddy" Combs, and Kanye West on their upcoming album, "Til the Coffin Drops".
Watch the battle ensue starting at 7:30 p.m. (doors at 7).
Tickets are $20.50 in advance, or $25.00 at the door, and can be bought ahead of time at Ticketmaster, Vertigo, and the Intersection box office.
