Ka - Descendents of Cain (Discussion Thread)

[Dylmatic]

Should be stickied, i'll listen to it later. I've only seen very positive feedbacks so far.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Just copped

Giving this and Ka's suggested 'Metal Clergy' album a spin when I work out later

Does the wav download from his website include artwork or should I wait for iTunes

'Every Now And Then' ......

Goddamn.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Didn't think there were any features on this album.
Then I hear Marci drop verse of the year on Sins Of The Father.

That shyt had me like

KA and Marci going back and forth on the hook

The sequence of the last 3 tracks is incredible

The sample selection was also dope and really drove the theme of the album home.

I'm about to listen

After two listens, i can say thats the best rap album of the year and my favourite Ka album so far.

Amazing from beginning to end. Some of the best beats he ever rhymed on and he made most of them so its even more impressive.
The production really fits the themes of the album, a pure work of art.
Of course he brought his A-game lyrically and a little decyphering will be needed.
The surprise guest killed it as well.

4.5/5.

I ended up buying to support, ended up downloading to use the artwork

Its been a long time since i listened to it, i'm giving it a spin right now thanks to your post.

Orpheus vs The Sirens and Honor Killed The Samurai were my favorites before Descendants of Cain.

KA keeps getting better each release, another perfectly crafted project. Have a hard time doing rankings with his catalog outside of Iron Works, which isn't bad at all, but Grief Pedigree and up are all on a different level

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

If Westside Gunn's work is the sonic version of a neon Takeshi Murakami piece, this shyt is the audio equivalent of statues carved out of marble.

I might be alone in thinking this, but I think Ka's live show should be some art installation shyt, with films based on the subject matter of each album playing behind him (eg Throne Of Blood for Honor Killed The Samurai or The Manchurian Candidate for Dr. Yen Lo) All his music is super vivid too, on some mahogany shelf library shyt, and the lack of drums makes it sound like a film score anyway

I'm saying - I'd pay $30 to sit in a darkened auditorium off the edibles and watch the OG 'Clash Of The Titans' on a movie screen as Ka stands in a spotlight and reads the bars from 'Orpheus Vs The Sirens' from a giant scroll

For this album too.

I'm just gonna keep asking for this until it happens, one day when we can go outside again.
