Yo Sober Soldiers, we’re back with another dope episode. We got the one and only Kly in the middle seat on this one. He’s a man who’s had quite an eventful career to date and it seems like he’s only getting into himself and warming up to give us more. We got to know him a little better, from his early days krumping and how he started singing as a challenge to himself. We also got to find out about his relationship with Maphorisa, his new album ‘THREE’ and his tenure at Ambitiouz. There’s lot more in between, hit play and enjoy.
