Mickey Factz already performed with The Cool Kids, and he spoke about it in his SDSU Interview a few weeks back. Here is the official video for their collaborative recording 'Rockin’ & Rollin’'.

CONTEST: Cool Kids + Mickey Factz Tickets

Cool Kids, in their first headlining show ever, and Mickey Factz are performing on a bill at the venerable S.O.B.s soon. My money is on a bunch of Pitchfork readers being up in there for that one. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't also try to go. One way is by winning a pair of tickets right here on SDSU.

WHAT TO DO TO WIN Write me at wes[AT]liberatedmatter[DOT]com (subject line: COOL KIDS) and answer the following three questions:
1. Do you wear skinny jeans on the regular?
2. What's your favorite rap line ever?
3. What's your favorite Hip Hop blog*

One entry will be randomly selected and notified in about a week.


Ticket Info: $17 General Admission; Available on Ticketmaster and at the S.O.B.’s Box Office, 212-243-4940. Doors: 7pm Show: 8pm

* Any answer but SDSU will be disqualified
