Ugly Duckling rhyme machine Andy Cooper shares 'P.A.R.T.Y.', taken from his forthcoming child-friendly album Kid Hop.
Someone who has always prided himself on being accessible to everyone as one of the good guys of the scene, this is no juvenile distraction but a fully realised beats and rhymes LP from the LA legend with kids in mind.
Released on 30 September via Audio Network, topics on Kid Hop range from tidying your room (‘Pick It Up’) and personal hygiene (‘Get Fresh’), to proving a positive attitude goes a long way on ‘Today’s My Day’ and ‘Let Me Be Me’; all over playground-rocking production that wouldn’t sound out of place on the stoop or the cypher.

School is in session with the educational ‘Now You Know’; knowing kids’ curiosity (and enjoyment of all things gross), ‘Don’t Scratch That Itch’ dishes out some easygoing do’s and don’ts; and just to show he’s still ready to go Tasmanian Devil on the mic, ‘Some Things I Love To Do’ runs around the place with a mega can of silly string as he bridges the gap between Sesame Street and London’s FUN DMC parties (not forgetting all-important nap time on ‘Stretch and Yawn’).
Cooper has been hard at work writing, recording and performing with festival favourites The Allergies, also embarking on extensive commercial production work for Audio Network: but his true love is the sample-based hip-hop of his youth.
Lockdown albums ‘L.I.S.T.E.N.’ and ‘Hot Off The Chopping Block’ are Andy at his apex, showing off all the skills he’s acquired as a mainstay of California’s true skool heroes Ugly Duckling.
As an entry-level hip-hop long-player requiring little parental supervision that puts the whole genre in a positive, fun-loving light and understands the need for kids to be kids – see the samba bounce of ‘It’s Time To Get Silly’ and lead single ‘P.A.R.T.Y.’ starting the show started today – Kid Hop is ideal for those wanting a taste of entertaining rap fundamentals.
