Known KA since I was 14 years old.

Spent a majority of my late teens running with him and his people, learning about the business. And how to conduct it. To say that he's grown as an artist since those days, would be a mad understatement. I was there during the NE days, watching him make demos for Def Jam and Tommy Boy. This dude totally recreated himself and carved his own lane, that a lot of other MC's have tried to steal and run with. I'm always proud to see him drop new music and stay true to himself. He seriously pours so much of himself into these projects, so it's dope to see people showing love and respect and supporting everything.

First few listens a very solid album.

I'm not loving all of it instantly like I did for the last three projects, but damn to get this a week after KD2. Ka is the only rapper I only found out about in the last few years to crack my top 10.

What did we do to deserve this :blessed:

That’s crazy. Awesome story. I was real sad to learn he got a lot of flack from the FDNY for “encouraging violence on cops” which he clearly never did. Really fukked up.

That’s great that you’ve seen so much of his growth first hand

Tell my man to get somebody to handle merchandise for him or something. Would love to have a Descendants of Cain hoodie.
