Kisses – People Can Do The Most Amazing Things

With so much drama in the L-B-C It’s kinda hard bein Snoop D-O-double-G But I, somehow, some way Keep comin up with funky ass shit like every single day…” – Snoop Doggy Dogg (1993, Doggystyle) I turned on my computer this morning and the first song I saw with Kisses’ People Do The Most Amazing [...]

It’s exactly what you’d expect from the title, a lush, very relaxing and collage of hazy dreap [...]
