FALCONS

TightMike & KayleoStocko… you have officialy caught my attention.

I first took notice of FALCONS on Potholes in my Blog

I can’t front… I slept on their EP. I mean it was cool…

Here are two cuts from the EP.

He is also set to release a collab with Harlem wizkid  Azealia Banks on Monday.

Continue to blow our minds Travis.
