From the Vault: Chivas and Kream (2014)

Witchpolice Radio ·

2023/10/11

This one was originally released as #65, featuring local rap duo Chivas and Kream, known for their work on the Deafwish label. I hope you dig it. It's in the show's old format, so if you're new to Witchpolice Radio, you're better off listening to a 2023 episode, but if you're looking for a fun throwback, here we are. Here's what we said
