Lowkey one of ur best interviews yet, good vibes in this one

[@bornagainalex]

this was the best interview fasho

[@KidsTakeOver]

Agreed

[@karimfall_]

For sure one of the best KTO’s interviews out. Maybe it’s because Arshan is a hoop fan on top of being a fan of this wave of music, but he seems way more comfortable and didn’t shy away from asking questions out of pure curiosity and interest. That’s the best form of communication if you ask me.
