Kooley High is a North Carolina hip-hop collective known for soulful beats, sharp lyricism, and timeless rap records.
Formed in Raleigh, the group brings together emcees Charlie Smarts and Tab-One, producers Sinopsis & Foolery, and DJ Ill Digitz — crafting music that blends classic hip-hop feel with a modern perspective.
Since their inception, Kooley High has built a consistent, high-quality catalog, collaborating with artists like Rapsody, 9th Wonder, Phonte, Blu, and Skyzoo.
Their sound lives at the intersection of underground hip-hop, jazz rap, and real-life storytelling — music that feels just as at home on a 45 as it does today.
