the Ka thread

[Philaflava]

At first I said no way is this better than Grief despite being really good, but this shit is aging beautifully with each listen. Maybe it isn't better, but dare I say I'm enjoying this more.

[A Kid]

it definitely gets better after a few listens. GP smacks you in the face more.

[perlman]

Like with his other albums, it is difficult to process at first. I have to listen to for two weeks straight while at the gym and then the subtle dopeness reveals itself and I'm all like

agreed. i'd say some of the high points on this album are better than GP but GP is hard to fuck with


but with all of ka's shit, the more i listen, the more i pick up and the better it gets

Fantastic album.

That Peace Akhi video is tough.

[ardamus]

Its crazy how different his very laid back raps match with those beats. Its like Roc Marciano does the same but smoother. When I listen to this, Ka pretty much sounds completely cold-blooded in what he says.

[COOLEHMAGAZINE]

New video might be my favorite

[truconfidence]

The 'Peace Ahki' video may be one of my favorite videos of all time hip-hop wise. Its just hammers the chess and combat and sullen nature of the track with great visuals.

[Tired & Broke]

Best review this man has done in a long time, I can dig it.

[Brayden]

That Peace Akhi video is really good.

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Only part I didn't understand was his thoughts on Reloaded...

[Y@k Bollocks]

Great interview.

good read

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Great interview.

http://noisey.vice.com/blog/ka-will-not-give-up-1

Great interview. Pretty cool that he works as a fire fighter full time. I wish he did more interviews. I've only seen like 5 or 6 interviews that he's given.

Looking forward to any new verses he has on Marci Beacoup.

[sleazy_j]

that was a great interview, and really it sums up everything. no further interviews needed.

[Dids]

I'm giving Ka a chance, and through 6 tracks of "Iron Works" I'm getting really frustrated by the fact that every track is basically the same downtempo, low energy, slow paced song. IT's a good song, but it was good the first time.

Do his other albums have more variety/up tempo stuff?

[sleazy_j]

i've never listened to iron works. grief pedigree is my favorite.

[Blockhead]

Dids,
You should really start with Grief Pedigree but, from the sound of it, I don't think you'll like it regardless. KA's shit is a slow burn, imo. It's super minimal but the mood he captures is both subtle and original. If you're looking for up tempo. energetic music, he is not the guy.

this isn't for you, don't bother

[Dids]

It's not that only want up tempo stuff, it's just that I need some balance and 11 tracks basically at the same BMP doesn't do anything for me.

30 seconds into Grief Pedigree and it's more like it.

[Gregg Popabitch]

New Ka video for "Jungle"

[DJCommunist]

Its crazy how different his very laid back raps match with those beats. Its like Roc Marciano does the same but smoother. When I listen to this, Ka pretty much sounds completely cold-blooded in what he says.

I keep thinking of "cold-blooded" when I listen to this album. That really is the best way to describe his style. Man I'm playing the hell out of this album lately though.

here's an interview he did with red bull

[The ILLatino]

Night's Gambit is still getting regular rotation. "Cold-blooded" is the perfect way to describe it.

I'm looking forward to listening even more as it gets colder outside. Ka's shit is perfect wintertime music.

[DLG]

I put on both grief pedigree and the new one right before bed regularly, really perfect music for late nights.
