Our group The Ol' Days consists of Hip Hop Producer Ki' of NC and Videographer Rookie Chi. We  connected as a hip hop group in 2012 because we were both super passionate about music and felt that the current market lacked soul and substance. Our clear cut mission is to entertain people, make great music and pass on that same awesome feeling to others that we felt in the music growing up!

In 2014 we released our debut album entitled “1979” and managed to get a great response in the US as well as people all over the world! It was an exciting time for us. We got great blog reviews, were contacted by promoters to do once in a lifetime gigs and even cemented a few contacts from celebrities who liked our music!


We have opened for hip hop legends like Slum Village, The Jungle Brothers, and even Talib Kweli!  So yes… we will be opening for a major act later this year, to be determined!

Believe it or not our very first show was opening for Slum Village! It was awesome opening up for our heroes!

We were definitely energized by the momentum and general reception of our first album! At the end of 2014 we immediately began working on our sophomore album "Silver Alert" which picks up where "1979" left off. 

In the second album you learn that our characters have mysteriously vanished since the ending of our first album.  No one has a clue where we are as promotional opportunities and gigs pile up in our answering machines and emails! Where in the world are The Ol’ Days?!?!?  The real question may be WHEN are The Ol’ Days????


 Since we are two old men that are M.I.A.  we decided to call the new album “Silver Alert”!  For those who have never heard of this term  a “Silver Alert” is similar to an “Amber Alert”,  but it’s the term used by police when older people go missing. Could you possibly think of a better album title for a missing hip hop group called “The Ol’ Days”????


 Up until a few months ago everything was moving along well with the production of the Silver Alert Album, but then we started experiencing some serious setbacks.  It first began with the unexpected demise of Rookies Macbook which contained a lot of visuals and videos from paid shoots. We tried everything in our power to recover them, but they were gone. We had spent countless hours obtaining these visuals and editing them for promo before we lost them. 

Soon after this occurred we each began experiencing a series of personal life events that affected our work financially.  At the end of the day we are both family men so our families and children come first before all. 



With financial setbacks hindering the progress of the album we quickly began to realize that putting the “Silver Alert” album together will be a harder task unlike the making of “1979” Needless to say we are behind in production and at this rate our second album will be dropping in the spring/summer of 2016. Our original drop date was meant to be 4-23-2015.


Throughout the months we continued to release finished music and videos that we had completed, but the album itself is far from finished.  We definitely do not want to disappoint our fans because so many people are waiting for this album.  While we could just release the album unmixed and raw, we feel our fans deserve to hear everything at its full potential. We want to be professional and do things the same way a mainstream label would. We are stuck in limbo right now and it’s killing us to not be able to finish what we started.


This is where you come in! With your help we plan to replace Rookie’s Mac Book (or at least get him something dope to hold him down) Record, Mix, and Master the rest of the album at a professional studio, press up a few 100 copies of the project, re-shoot all the lost footage for the videos we had and have some cool merchandise made for our fans! 


We want to put out a project that will blow our first one out the water! We also want to create the ultimate fan experience for our listeners by being able to combine a great sounding, entertaining album, while maintaining eye catching visuals to match the sound.  


Every time somebody mentions how much they like our first album, me and Rookie really felt like we we’re doing exactly what the Most High had put us on earth to do! It’s the most fulfilling thing to see people get something from your art.  We want to be able to do that times ten with our second album! 


Now for the good stuff! Our current mantra is “We Will Exceed Our Goal, We Will Exceed Our Goal!” With that in mind, we want to shower our fans with love!!!! We have everything in the perks menu; from digital downloads,  signed CD copies of the album, T-shirts, posters and even tickets to a big future show! We have the perks covered for all levels of help that we might receive. Whatever you can give will definitely be appreciated by us!

The music will never stop because our passion is so strong. Win or lose we promise to put everything we have into promoting this campaign! We won’t stop until this album is complete because we love what we do!



No money? No problem! Just help us spread the Silver Alert campaign! A share on FaceBook and Twitter definitely helps us achieve our goal! Sharing our campaign is the equivalent to giving 20 bucks to our cause!

At the end of the day we want our fans to know that we see them and that they are very much appreciated! Our dream is putting out great music to make people happy and entertained. 

There is definitely no US without You!!!!!

Ki' of NC & Rookie Chi
