"It is an authentic sound"-nationalgeographic.com

"You got to see them live to believe it" -Michael Simiyu, Mtaa FM "

"An interesting Sound " -Mik Wang , Director Hip Hop Colony

"I got to say K-G got some skills "-Dj Chino, 102Jamz Orlando

"The spirited "Afro-Urban" music of KG and The Band "-Orlando Music Blog

"His energy, combined with the band's, really did have me shakin' my hips"-Alicia Lyman, Orlando CityBeat

"you get a little Afrobeat and a little soul"- Jason Ferguson and Bao Le-Huu,Orlando weekly
