GLC f/ Kids These Days – Pimp You [Prod. by Blended Babies]


Artwork by Ken Koller

Leak number two from the Blended Babies and GLC project, Cathedral. I love the sound these two factions have come together to create. Seriously.

This one features Cody Kazarian and Greg Landfair Jr. from Kids These Days, and a sweet vocal sample from English rock group and one time XL recordings signees The Magistrates.

Two for two thus far. Cathedral drops Monday.
