Creator to Creators S4 Ep 23 Rap Duo It’s A Cool Day - a podcast by M.V.B Films Productions

Straight from Chicago, the multi-talented duo known as It’s A Cool Day is set to release their
latest single, “The Butterfly Effect,” on June 16. The single weaves intricate melodies with
relaxing overtones that transport the listener to a musical escape.
It’s A Cool Day is comprised of Craig Lowe, aka The C.o.o.l (Chase Opportunity or Lose), and
Derion Scroggins aka Day Underscore, who together can best be described as “a vibe.” The duo
was developed by industry veteran Greg “Olskool Ice-Gre” Lewis (Abstract Mindstate), the very
first A&R of Good Music and a twenty-three-year creative collaborator to the artist formerly
known as Kanye West. He sensed the collaborative potential between C.o.o.l and Day and
provided an environment in which they could thrive together.
The magic orchestrated by Honest Music enabled “The Butterfly Effect” to take flight. “Olskool
provided the atmosphere for us to just do us and create and have conversations and vibe out,”
explains the duo. “We were holding a mic and passing it to each other. That was the cool thing
about this project—it was such a unique process.”
Lyrically, “The Butterfly Effect” stems from dealing with love and the butterflies that get in your
gut. “It’s about not ruining the moment,” tells the duo. “The narrator’s thinking ‘I hope I’m
doing everything correctly—the best for me in this situation. But I’ve also been hurt in
relationships.’ It’s about hoping the girl is the person he’s been looking for and what was meant
for him and what he needs.”
“We’re not afraid to be vulnerable. If you look at music these days, things are toxic. We have
our share of toxic songs but we’re more than that. This is what we’re feeling and want to
express that to listeners. It’s not about protecting the ego but being real.”
“We want listeners to know it’s okay to take a chance. It’s the most selfish and selfless thing
you can do when it comes to love. Love is tricky and risky, but it’s so necessary to not be closed
off and isolated,” adds It’s A Cool Day. “We have the opportunity to be secluded and
independent, but you have to get outside.”
The butterfly effect also refers to the real-life phenomenon of the monarch butterfly, a
multigenerational species that paves the way for future generations to thrive.
Together, C.o.o.l and Day have created a sound that is a hybrid of the many styles that have
influenced them, along with a touch of their own.
“I started in music really young,” shares C.o.o.l of his upbringing. “I sang in choir and was
classically trained in opera. Yet growing up in a rough environment, hip hop and rap are a part
of me—they’re in my fabric. The combination has created a unique style in me. When I met Day
in California, we went on to merge sounds and create an R&B sound with edge.”
Cool comes from the south side of Chicago, while Derion is from the west side. “We grew up at
a different pace, but it’s all still Chicago,” adds Day. A second-generation artist, Day also had an
early start in music. His father was a musician who would take him to rehearsals and the studio.
“I caught the bug very early on,” Day adds. “I was heavily influenced by R&B and pop—from
Michael Jackson to Usher. I was a late bloomer to hip hop.”
The creation of “Butterfly” is the result of pure collaboration. Day produced the song from top
to bottom, while the lyrics and concept are a result of both working together. “Day came with
the beat and I knew it was special as soon as I heard it,” says C.o.o.l. “When it comes to him,
there wouldn’t be a record without him. He hears a beat no matter where in the production.”
In the same vein, Day has nothing but good words to say about his musical counterpart. “The
cool thing about C.o.o.l is that he has conversations. The way the words come together for
him—I’ve never seen anything like it. The lyrics come together and make sense. I’m a writer and
will write the lyrics but he doesn’t have to because he’s a superhuman.”
After their single—complete with visuals—drops, It’s A Cool Day is looking forward to releasing
their project, You’re Welcome, on June 23. “It’s less of an EP and more of a conversational
piece,” teases the duo. “We’re in the middle of making a bridge between traditional and
modern. We want to inspire the progression of what may come.”
