"To say KGLW are going through a fruitful period at the moment would be an understatement. This year alone they have continued to exceed expectations with their impressive output of high quality music. 'Laminated Denim' continues the trend." Reply
"Really strong back half with this new batch of bonus and vault tracks, but uh... what the fuck is up with the production on the other songs?" Reply
