The Cool Kids

I remember like it was yesterday when i found these kids on myspace when i was a&r'ing at atlantic records in 2007. I dont think i ever been so excited about a rap group off of myspace in my life. I remember i told ferris about them. He didnt even budge. Like i use to go to they page like everyday. Then i told my boss at the time Mr. www.thankgodimfamous.com about them and he told me he heard about them already and basically told me he liked him. But me, i LIKED them alot, i was like if i can sign people i would of been signed them. They had that fresh breath of air to the rap scene. They had the 80's swag on lock, they had dope rhymes and most of all THEY HAD THAT KNOCK. The knock where you make the craig mack face(ugly face if you slow). Like this was my idea for a&ring, i wanted something i can see a trend, something different, beat is on mars, and they swag is crazy.

So I went hard with presenting them to try to get them signed, i was hounding Sickamore about these dudes, maybe aiming at atlantic record for them. Chances were slim, because atlantic not too big on ACTS like this. So i just kept in contact the Chuck(one on the left) and the manager at the time Nelson. Always followed up with them, went to a few shows, hounding Chuck for beats etc. Then one day, i got my chance, i got the email to set up the meeting for Asylum Records to sit down with them.

But this when it got ugly, i remember i think i was VA setting up the meeting thru my blackberry because they were in NYC. If you work in the music business or nyc period you know everything is done thru emails on the blackberry. So i got in touch with them they gave the time they could make it. So boom, the meeting is official. If it went thru, i could be seeing some major guap. Speed up, the time had came and No Cool kids were not found. Im getting calls from Sickamore, Aslyum President, and whoever else CC'd in the emails. So i got in touch with Nelson like "Whats good, what happen with the meeting"? Hes apologizes and stated his phone died and they were recording something with Mick Boogie. So i sent the reply back to the office

(I took their emails out for personal reasons)

So fast forward, next day came, they ended up flying back i believe there was a storm in nyc or something, and it never went thru. So boy i was pissed. It kind of made me look bad for Asylum & Sickamore but thats the nature of the business. I took it, i was fresh in the game & learned alot from that experience. I knew it didnt matter on they part, they had many big labels on their heels. But i still kept in contact because im a fan anyway.
