Kids These Days - Flashing Lights

I've heard of Kids These Days a few years ago, but I'm really just getting hip to their music. In case you were sleeping on the Chicago band just like me, check out their recent cover of Kanye West's "Flashing Lights." The live instrumentation, Vic Mensa's verse and Macie Stewart's vocals certainly give this track new life. Their album Traphouse Rock is coming soon!
