How many kids need to overdose at festivals before we do something? How many more families need to be destroyed? We’re at 6 deaths in 2 months. Another one yesterday. If pill testing saves one life, it’s worth it. It’s that simple. Anyone arguing against it, i hope it’s not your son, daughter, brother, sister, or friend, who’s next. My heart breaks for everyone effected by these avoidable tragedies. And I’m sickened by the politicians with blood on their hands, yet still doing nothing. More young people will die as a result of your weakness. Introduce safe pill testing NOW. FFS

HUSKii teams up with Kashtwins on new track ‘wrong move’
Sonically the track builds a strong contrast between the firey raps of HUSKii and the strong vibe Kashtwins bring to the table. Production perfectly weaves throughout the vocals, reinforcing their place in the mix.
If 2018 is anything to go by, HUSKii has big things on the horizon.
