Album of the Year (2012)

[Big Mel]

I've heard the Gangrene and it's great. What is comprable to the Ka record in terms of style? And is the Showbiz record dusty / dated 90's sounding ish or is it a fresh take / approach to boom bap?

Ka sounds like vintage Mobb Deep crossed with Cannibal Ox. He's maybe the most poetic NYC street rhymer I've heard in 5 years. Incredible writing. Gza thought so much of him he allowed him a solo spot on pro tools and roc Marciano is doing an album with him.


No, the show & a sounds crisp and current while not losing its integrity.
