If you like Standing on the Corner then I would recommend Caleb Giles Under the Shade album and Slauson Malone’s A Quiet Farewell. Both used to members of the band and both projects are great!
A brilliant analysis of Descendants of Cain. A lot of great pieces (I have one in the works) have been written about Ka overall, and that includes this project. However, this is the first video essay I've seen that covered this album in great depth. Thank you for this!
I really been fucking with the Michigan sound right now. Babyface Ray, Sada Baby, RMC Mike and Icewear Vezzo all sound so unique and fresh over those faster paced and hard hitting beats. The flow like they’re taking normally but spit some insane shit about women and the streets.
Hey Volksgeist, love that you’re shining some light on Descendants of Cain. A super underground project that I love is KAMAUU’s 2016 “A Gorgeous Furtune EP” It’s super fun and has such a unique sound. I’ve never heard anyone talk about it, but would love to see it in another one of these videos if you do listen to it and enjoy it.
Just an interesting fact. I was checking out Descendants of Cain for the first time and the last song “I Love (Mimi, Moms, Kev)” sounded familiar to me. And it was its instrumental that reminds me to “Soy Loco Por Ti (Versión Jazz)” of Rafael Lechowski. He is a spanish rapper/poet and I think you should listen to him! Great video!!!
shoutout you for sayin KA bro is easily the one best lyricist I have heard with his effortless flow and delivery make his wordplay naturally hard hitting
i really like these more personal videos delving more into your opinions, it gives your more character and personality as a critic. keep up the good work mane
I would also suggest Frog Eyed - A Bloody Hand. It’s an amazing indie album and I also feel it’s pretty influential. It reminds me a bit of the cool part of Helplessness Blues
@@Volksgeist album so underrated it isn’t even on Spotify lmao. It is on Apple Music. Sadly, not all songs are on RUclips so you can only listen to some. I am making a playlist with all I can find rn

I remember when I played a veeze song on your livestream once and you just shat on it for the whole time it played. Glad your taste is maturing and you can appreciate the nonchalant Detroit rappers 💯
Price of Tea in China is super dope, but Manger on McNichols is no doubt one of my favorite albums for the past 5 years or so. Boldy’s pen is equally as sharp, but I personally prefer the chaos of sterling toles’ jazz compositions
took me a second to find this comment after seeing it a few days ago, man am i happy that i listened to this album cuz of you. production is out of this world and i geniunly think that listening "Mommy Dearest" is once in a lifetime type experience with music. man to think that i always fucked with boldy but never really gave his albums a true listen because there are just too many like 2-3 albums a year.. anyways ty man for putting me on this unreal album
yeah bro g herbo raps good, but have you heard his album Welcome To Fazoland he REALLY raps ❤️🔥🔥🔥 momma im sorry hits hard me you should do a review on it
How many of these do you guys know already
All except the Babyface one, all 3 are great
Ka and boldy need to check out the other two
Already knew about Red Burns but that was it
Ive heard the boldy james album, ka album, and baby face album.
boldy

a quiet farewell 🥰🥰🥰
a quiet farewell is a masterpiece
A quiet farewell is a grower
standing on the corner is one of my favorites! I really recommend their self titled too
So good

The sample is originally from Leon Ware’s song Musical Massage
You would love Absolutely by Dijon. Went super under the radar this year
Real question is is Volksgeist underrated?
I think everybody knows the answer to this one
i’ve had Tahoe by baby face on repeat for months now, happy to see him get sum recognition
Price of tea in China was my intro to Boldy and I've loved all his albums since
shoutout you for sayin KA bro is easily the one best lyricist I have heard with his effortless flow and delivery make his wordplay naturally hard hitting
Dudes last 3 albums are all 9s bro to think he only has 40k on Spotify is insane. Discovered him last year and he's top 10 for me now amazing artist
i really like these more personal videos delving more into your opinions, it gives your more character and personality as a critic. keep up the good work mane

I can’t find it lmao can you link it?

Fake news
@@Volksgeist it’s okay to admit you were wrong ❤️
Descendants of Cain by KA is a sequel for Orpheus vs. The Sirens by Hermit and the recluse which is KA under a different name!!!!!!!!!!
Well you’ve just decided the next 4 albums I’ll be listening to 🔥
I like this kinda content at least you didn’t need to be unnecessarily obscure
Descendants of Cain is so powerful, nice Carhartt sweater!
You got me listening to all these albums AND I went online and bought that dope ass sweater. Damn.
ever since you mentioned ka's album Its been a regular listen and one of my favs
thx man ;)
NEXT VID : underrated alternative/indie albums 💖
We def need a part two!
love both red burns and descentants of cain, i will check out the other two!
red burns red burns coming oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Out of all 4 I was only aware of Boldy James. I am impressed by the list overall!
Price of Tea in China is super dope, but Manger on McNichols is no doubt one of my favorite albums for the past 5 years or so. Boldy’s pen is equally as sharp, but I personally prefer the chaos of sterling toles’ jazz compositions

flysiifu's with pink siifu and fly anakin is mad underrated
Unfuckwitable is slept on for sure
ka is hip hop’s answer to slowcore

Descendants of Cain is a top tier album, very harrowing
Uh oh, he got that Sneako flow in his intro. wonder why
True

BABYFACE RAY
NERS are the Gangsta!
Do something on Mach-Hommy
I think volksgeist would like fire if he grew a full beard
Please make a vid about the Flint Michigan rap scene FREE RIO
A bit too Patrick Bateman for my liking
Violent Femmes self-titled
I didn't like the price of tea in China that much :(

I saw descendants of cain, had to click
Dude. 2049
