In 2005 I played a show at Chicago's Abbey Pub. Opening was a comedic hip-hop ensemble called The Cankles (who all wore Cosby sweaters to the gig). Fast foward to 2008 and lead emcee Kid Static had teamed up with beatmaker Yea Big and the duo was making a name for themselves. Here's a video for their 2009 cut, "Stomp the Pedal". Animation by Ronald Grandpey. Dig it.
