When you master a technique you can break the rules. Beetoven's "drei equale" comes to mind, as well as RZA's forays into drumless tracks and of course the boldly atmospheric yen lo stuff.
1. Nas
2. Drake
that's pretty much it fam.

Re: Ka - Cold Fact (video)
Minimal percussion on this.
Not been a fan of this guy in the past but I'm REALLY feelin' this album. Production is looser, his flow is cockier, and he's developed a grasp of melody to his mumbling that's Bigavelzian.
Actually makes me think of a fantasy Max B/Madlib collabo album.

New album is dope. His best work since Grief Pedigree IMO.
Preservation came through with the perfect backdrop for Ka's ish. Dope team up.

Re: Ka - Cold Fact (video)
Is this on Itunes? I couldn't find it there. Searching for "KA" is pretty limiting.
Re: Ka - Cold Fact (video)
The artist is Dr. Yen Lo, which is the group comprised of Ka and Preservation
Re: Ka - Cold Fact (video)
the raps on this are amazing
Re: Ka - Cold Fact (video)
Yep KA's flow is pretty close to Max's on this.Let Jaz Down wrote: Not been a fan of this guy in the past but I'm REALLY feelin' this album. Production is looser, his flow is cockier, and he's developed a grasp of melody to his mumbling that's Bigavelzian.

KA and Preservation are 2 for 2 on collabos. This Dr. Yen Lo joint is fresh. KA remains consistent

Re: Ka - Cold Fact (video)
Got a nice review in The Quietus
http://thequietus.com/articles/18062-fu ... ary-suarez" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;The problem with Ka is our problem, not his. By all rights, the Brownsville, Brooklyn-based emcee deserves to be spoken in the exultant hyperbolic tones currently reserved for the likes of Dilla and Doom. Yet time and time again his name remains absent from our frequent public conversations about hip hop, in New York or otherwise. A dilemma designed for existential detectives, even those who heart Ka’s hucklebuck somehow can’t deal with his infinite nature.
Part of this is because he doesn’t fit in. Much like fellow Gothamite outsider Billy Woods, Ka acts as an intelligent isolationist in a multitudinous era of crews and posses. His accomplishments and sins all his own, he’s not out here repping A$AP or BSB or GS9. He goes it alone because nobody else understands, even if they can somehow relate. Ka doesn’t make records for the trap house, though one suspects he could do so in his assuredly insomniac moments of sleep.
While The Night's Gambit made for one of 2013's best rap albums, it was a dense and intense listen, making casual repeat play a somewhat unappealing option. Days With Dr. Yen Lo is even more obstructionist by comparison, a lonely and even suffocating downtempo set saturated in a grey haze of noir. Like Tical experienced through blackout curtains, producer Preservation matches Ka’s mental musings with smoldering soul sonics and a pervasive sense of unease.
Appropriating the name Dr. Yen Lo from a character in the 1962 Frank Sinatra picture The Manchurian Candidate, this brief immersive record runs much like a sordid thriller would, albeit from the singular perspective of the would be perpetrator. His chronology out of order like a shredded diary, Ka spits elaborate knowledge darts in the forms of riddles and observations, hints and allegations. On Day three, he surveys the streets and doesn’t like a lot of what he sees. On Day 93, he wonders if the police sirens are there for him. By Day 912, his motive becomes as clear as it could: we are the ones he’s conditioning and grooming.
