Kalhex- La Fine Ligne feat. Rob-O  (Ene Remix)

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's mix is the show's final, full dedication to De La Soul's Trugoy the Dove and, in a certain sense, De La as a whole. Tonight, I briefly meditate on the recent conflict with Marcus J. Moore, the trajectory of their discography, and conclude on the same note as the last two odes -- De La, forever.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
