New album submission from Kimberley based Krossword. Memoirs of A K-Ster is Krossword's seventh full length release. The 14 track album features some of the best and most cohesive production on a project that I have heard in awhile - featuring deep 808s and big room instrumentation this project was meant to be played at full volume as you drive around the block with the windows out. The album boasts a couple of features from artists like Keodireleng, Louis M Songz, Rythmik, Noni and Kabomo (yes that Kabomo)

Standout tracks: Hulana, Relentless, Cold World and Changes
