Kool Rock, formerly Kool Rock-Ski of 80’s pioneer group The Fat Boys, will step out on his own tomorrow with an all star, 4-track EP entitled Party Time.
Years away from the limelight hasn’t dimmed Kool Rock’s respect in the eyes of his Hip-Hop colleagues. For the first single “We Can Talk,” the veteran rapper was able to obtain the services of superstar Jay-Z.
Both emcees enjoyed bridging the gaps between their eras, and Rock made note of Jay’s appreciated namedrop of the group on his seminal Blueprint album. “Man, you know it was like two decades since I been in the game.
To get in the studio and do a track with Jay-Z on it was a great feeling man,” Kool Rock told. “That’s right, me and Jay was laughing about his line ‘First the Fat Boys break-up’ [from the track ‘Heart of the City‘] and he was really happy to see we back [again]!”
Another surprise guest was in-demand songwriter T-Pain. Kool Rock’s Party Time EP debuts tomorrow (April 14) on iTunes.
