This is my go to song when I need to get pumped up before a big lift. Dude's just so fucking cold. His delivery is calm and measured, but the words he's spittin are just pure fire. Gives me chills!
RIP brother. Gone far too soon. I can’t even tell you how completely broken I feel upon hearing the news. A truly gifted, intelligent and all round brilliant individual. I felt a special connection with you and your art. As long as I live I promise your music will remain in heavy rotation.
I mean his cadence & the lyrics applied are almost unreal. Sun was most def in a zone making this. You can tell this is 1 of his "it may take me month to finish a bar' joints. The video just enhances that much even more. I dare anybody to find a bad KA bar...let alone verse..further more song *THEY DO NOT EXIST*. Not even my favorite rapper, my favorite ARTIST of all time...
Brilliant. Heard this on a abstract radio show one time and hunted it down. The DJ was playing mostly underground techno and abstract/ambient stuff and threw this in.
That conversation between D`angelo, and Bodie, alot of people didn`t realize at tha time how foreshadowing that was. D`angelo didn`t even belong on the chessboard, but Bodie stayed in for quite some time, like he said, "smart-ass pawns" can put it in. KA - Thank you for putting out the most consistent flow to appear in the game for a long time!
Normally I am drawn to more mellow/optimistic voices but Ka is one of the few 'grimy' rappers that is able to depict a distinct decaying beauty throughout all the mess he's in. Mesmerizing.
Well, as being kind of a crew together, you could expect that. Didn't you check their albums? One is the only guest on each other's album and vice versa (except for Reloaded). The song GZA invited KA in his Pro Tools album is produced by Roc Marciano, that's how they met and it probably kind of shaped their sound. It's like saying Raekwon and Ghostface have similarities...
"Play Chess but my past Checkered" gigantic salute Ka! Genius. Yo I wish I could follow every one of you dope mawfukkaz who support this cat! Hit me on twitter @bluofgreentank ! Peace!

Ka is a poet that can rap.

"When I apply Science, my maths perfected"
rest in peace, akhi
Folks still stuck on Kendrick "Control" verse...SMH, while artists like Ka continue to give us lyrical sustenance, moving the culture forward!!
This is such a contradiction

My heart is never the question, I write hard phonetic aggression. My art is parked in the medicine section.

*Listen to the work of my brother FEELFOUND, he really needs support, he is trying. 💯*
Rest In Power Ka
It just blows my mind how people still listen to mainstream hip hop when you got artists like Ka, Roc Marciano, etc. out here spittin that real.
FRK I'm with you on that...
They can’t handle the real, they’d rather listen to facades.

Such a dope album. This is possibly my fav track from the LP.
I can't wait for his next release.
Best lyricist period
Normally I am drawn to more mellow/optimistic voices but Ka is one of the few 'grimy' rappers that is able to depict a distinct decaying beauty throughout all the mess he's in. Mesmerizing.
