The Cool Kids Drop Tacklebox Mixtape

2010_06_01_coolkids.jpg Those of us who are still wishing for the laid-back atmosphere of a 3-day weekend can take heart. Chicago rap duo The Cool Kids released their latest mixtape Tacklebox late Monday evening, and the 15-song set contains enough old-school throwback jams to at least keep us in a party mood mentally, if not physically. (After all, we all had to return to the work week, didn't we?). Fake Shore Drive notes that Tacklebox consists of new material, as well as leftovers from their sessions for their unreleased full-length When Fish Ride Bicycles. Download Tacklebox here.
