Yes this album has grown on me heavily and I love the genius of it. Vessel>>>>>any track that's dropping this year.

Yeah - I think Grief Pedigree still has the top spot for me too. Things rise above it for me momentarily, but when the dust settles I'm going back to this album more than anything else so far. Cancer4Cure is probably second for me right now, but R.A.P. Music is right there.

And another one.

Yeah, without a doubt one of the best albums of the year.

Still getting into this album, but I play Cold Facts a lot.

"Grew up with good-spirited goons, now I only see them in tombs or visiting rooms."

Really dope line.

Dope. Still listen to this album regularly. Can't wait to hear new shit from him. Hopefully dude has a good work ethic.

Loving this video for Born King. The art of these videos is Ka making it seem like Brooklyn is that desolate, when the reality is people are out and about 24/7. Last man standing type shit.

The G-Building shot is dope as well as the garbage with all the rats. Another masterpiece.

I don't buy it. Either he hasn't listened or he listened to like one track. There's no way Thun wouldn't like this album.

Glad he made the video for BKNY finally.

man if he's really saving iron age as the one that will bridge from grief pedigree to metal clergy...

I've heard, don't like it, it's just not special or good.

Thun doesn't like it. Big deal.

Let's go back to enjoying the shit out of this.

Great show by KA last night in Brooklyn.

The open Hennessey bar made one dude collapse on a couple girls lol.

i liked this album alot when i first got it..i didnt really listen to it alot but i liked it..

fast forward a few months and im listening to this album almost every day. something new pops out every time i listen too. it was in my top 5 for the year but as of right now its #1 for me. no other album is making me replay it over and over. not even my favorite rapper who dropped this year could do that.

Don't actually love the uber stripped down approach for the "Iron Age" video, but it's dope that he made videos for each track.

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:45 pm

it's not really that much more minimal compared to the others though

Versive · Post by **Versive** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 3:03 pm

Posted all the videos, in order they dropped, to my blog with a little write-up touching on the minimalism alluded to above http://jucommie.blogspot.com/2012/10/ka ... suals.html

From The Desk Of Aesop Rock: Ka

Aesop: Somewhere along the line I think I turned into that guy who really doesn’t identify with most new music. When I discovered Brownsville rapper Ka‘s Grief Pedigree LP from earlier this year, it became the one album I didn’t stop playing.

The record sounds like a guy going through old records in his room and piecing together eerie loops to zone out to. You can really hear the process in there as much as you can hear the finished product, and while I find that so much of today’s rap music is too crispy clean for me, this record jumped out as something much more personal. You can tell Ka made it because that’s just what he does—whether or not you ever hear it.

The rhymes are for the most part really visual tales from growing up in a difficult area of Brooklyn, but it’s not your average N.Y. thuggery—it feels more like well-written tales from a tangible struggle. So many great lyrics on here, and song-wise there really isn’t a weak link on the whole album.

Ka has at least one other solo LP out before it, and was part of the ’90s NYC crew Natural Elements, but for me, Grief Pedigree is where it all seems to come together. I can’t recommend this record enough, and I really look forward to hearing what he will do in the future.
