Frank Nitt has for the past years delivered some dope music. The track ”Grateful” is a horn laced super funky track produced by King Michael Coy from the album ”Serene OG” (Deluxe Edition 2022).
King Kashmere & Letherette – ”G-Cell”
King Kashmere and I must have just missed each other as he in 2006 released ”In The Hour Of Chaos” (Receptor Records) and I was moving back to Stockholm. I never managed to catch where The Iguana Man was hiding but thanks to the releases that’ve dropped over the last few years on High Focus have I been listening to King Kashmere and I’ve also been digging on early material. ”G-Cell” is new music released together with the production duo Letherette. Enjoy!
