New The Cool Kids - "Pennies"

Fans of The Cool Kids have been used to hearing new material consistently trickle from the Chicago-based hip-hop twosome, usually on the band's MySpace Page. It sometimes can take a little while to have those songs released in a more traditional format, like an album or even an EP. An awesomely stupid mixtape notwithstanding, The Cool Kids have yet to release a proper debut album.

That will all change with When Fish Ride Bicycles. No word on a release date, but the first single, "Pennies", has been leaked online. If you're looking to find a song that defines The Cool Kids aesthetic, this is it. With an defiantly old-school vibe, and a trunk-rattlin' bass line, the slow, minimalist "Pennies" is just the kind of thing to get people to stop hating on hipster rap.
