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.

I didn't like the Showbiz album, I just personally found it to be dry. But I still gotta check for the Ka record. Also need to check for a couple other joints mentioned in this thread as well.

 

[The Blind Man]

if Schools shyt is an album then heres my update:

1.El-P "Cancer for Cure"
2.Killer Mike "RAP Music"
3.Schoolboy Q "hnc"
4.Ab Soul "Controle System"
5.Showbiz and AG "Pre-Loaded"

add the O.C & Apollo, Krit & Currensy to that list for me...

& thats a good first half of the year right there.
