Special thanks to the Indie Creative Network and StoryTime Studios for producing and editing this podcast. Let’s make it happen, y’all!

Right now we just doing laps around the track and hitting you with your most requested guests. Don Kilo has been on his way to the pod for a couple of years and we finally got to do it. On the day of his new offering’s listening session we had a lengthy chat on a rooftop in Rosebank, where Kilo took us way back on his journey into music via football and trapping. We rounded things up on his latest album ‘Loyal To The Plug’.
On this episode, we see a side of Kilo that we’ve never experienced, which was impressive to witness. Press play and enjoy.
