Konny Kon & Tyler Daley are Children of Zeus

I’ve been looking forward to the fruits of this project immensely since hearing Elevate (listen below) last year – Manchester has a wealth of quality music pouring out at the moment, but there’s something special about these two together. Both well established and respected on the Manc scene, Konny raps and Tyler sings but the both handle the production, with an album’s worth of music ready to go. “Children of Zeus came to restore a feeling missi…
