FROM LEFT, ON MIKEY ROCKS: BUCKLER JEANS AND BELT, NEW ERA HAT. ON CHUCK INGLISH: STUSSY JEANS, BUCKLER BELT.

THE COOL KIDS

In just six months, Mikey
Rocks, 20, and Chuck
Inglish, 23, went from
Internet fame—check
the heavily blogged
track “Black Mags”—to
something more tangible.
With nothing more than
a MySpace page, the pair
scored a Rhapsody com-
mercial, an opening slot on
M.I.A.’s tour, and a cameo
on Lil Wayne’s “Getting
It.” Their slow-rolling
sound updates vintage
Beastie Boys and EPMD
with trunk-crumpling
beats more minimal than
a Mark Rothko painting.
Their debut EP, The Bake
Sale (Chocolate Industries),
is out this month.
