Video/Q+A: Kidz In The Hall, “I Got It Made (09)”
- story THE FADER
The phrase “hipster rapper” gets thrown around far too often these days but Kidz In The Hall, who have felt the term’s wrath as much as any, couldn’t even tell us what it means. “I think it’s ’cause they saw me wear red jeans once,” says the duo’s production half Double O. The Kidz just released a video for their remake of “I Got It Made” as the first artists in Reebok’s “Classic Remix” collection. We caught up with Double O to ask him how the collaboration came about.

Freeload: Kidz In The Hall f. Estelle, “Love Hangover”
- story THE FADER
Estelle’s voice is pretty much tailor-made for the summer. Every time she sings we imagine we are driving along the waterfront a convertible. Here’s Kidz in the Hall’s “Love Hangover” featuring Estelle singing some actually kinda heavy shit effortlessly over breezy synths that basically sound like someone pressing down on a marshmallow.

Freeload: Mickey Factz, The Leak #10
- story THE FADER
Last time we checked in with Mickey Factz he did some cool emo-house stuff and we posted a picture of Grover because we were doing a puppet thing. This time Mickey and Naledge of Kidz in the Hall get a little lyrically lyrical and trade-off a bunch of verses. They still sound like they’re having fun though. We are into fun and still into puppets.

We talked about loving this song when we posted its trailer and the Kidz’s Obama track a while back. Now Obama is clawing it out with Hillz and Eddie and talking about Omar, and we’ve got the full Masta Ace-sampling Outkast-interpolating what-the-fuck-happened-to-the-nerds-from-School Was My Hustle??? jammy jam for you to download. EVERYTHING IS COMING TO BE. Kidz in the Hall’s The In Crowd is slated for early this year on Duck Down.

Freeload: Kidz In The Hall, “Work to Do”
- story THE FADER
Kidz In The Hall have been hanging around making cranky throwback rap for a minute or two but it wasn’t until we heard “Driving Down the Block” with its Masta Ace sample, positive attitude and ridiculous beat that we thought they might be onto something. Then they put out “Work to Do” for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and we were like You are officially in our wheelhouse, dudes. They have recently signed with storied label Duck Down Records and are teasing “Driving Down the Block” with the above trailer of scenes from dudes driving in movies.
