Sir Michael Rocks has a new project out today. ‘Rocks, Paper, Scissors: Choices’ is available now on all DSPs via Fake Shore Drive, and it arrives with a full roster of collaborators, a deliberate sonic vision, and a concept rooted in the weight of real decisions. Features come from Bruiser Wolf, Valee, Tha Musalini, DJ Fresh, and Skooda Chose.
Mikey lays out the thinking plainly. “Rock Paper Scissors is one of the world’s oldest games. It’s balanced, fair, and hard to cheat,” he says. “This album captures that spirit of big decisions and high stakes. I carefully selected each feature for their specific contribution to the story. I wanted to make a project that highlighted the pros and cons of taking risks, while providing a vivid backdrop of Chicago living. The good and bad and everything in between.”
The project lands with the kind of confidence that comes from an artist who has never needed to chase the moment. One half of the influential duo The Cool Kids, Sir Michael Rocks has been shaping minimalist rap aesthetics and Chicago street cool since before most of his peers caught up. ‘Rocks, Paper, Scissors: Choices’ follows a sold-out Cool Kids tour alongside Chuck Inglish, the October 2025 release ‘Hi Top Fade’, and the February 2026 re-release of ‘Gone Fishing’ with Don Cannon, which featured Ludacris, Bun B, Ryan Leslie, and more.
Twelve tracks deep, cohesive in sound and sharp in execution, ‘Rocks, Paper, Scissors: Choices’ is Sir Michael Rocks at his most focused.
