Ka - Descendents of Cain (Discussion Thread)

[Figaro]

Dope album....

I liked Orpheus vs Sirens...but not much as others if I'm being honest...i think this has potentially to be better

 

[Mountain]

Yea now Im convinced.

Ka's music embodies og stoic philosophy, I wouldnt be surprised if he studies marcus aurelius.

 

[Mountain]

Edit: let me take that back.

"A few times almost expired...should've retired when I renewed...

The place I fell from I embrace and welcome...

Play "bad cards" bad...cant be mad at whoever dealt em..."

Old Justice...smh a literary masterpiece, had to scribe it quickly for yall

"we was living in the living room...

Cant wait for it to come, we need to get it soon...

Cousin said he about to get off a key, better get in tune..

By next weekend could be eating with a bigger spoon..

Sold raw no more scraping the bottom...

Braved the corner where aint no taking too solemn...

Greet all with aggression assuming they're waiting to rob him...

Thought he was moving solution without equating the problem...

When young in the flesh hungers the best motivator...

Thats word, get hurt out here if you dont know the nomenclature...

sharp slingers, only thing you couldn't own was paper, fam we bleed, aint guaranteed staying home was safer...

Masked bandit; I "suggested", when I flashed, "demanded"...

Pull solo missions wishing to get off mass transit....

Letting sht pass, that's how you get your ass handed...

All gaudy, thought he was fly, till he crash landed...

Here cake exist only for those who take the risks...

If the lord offered, would you learn how, or take the fish?

No dandelions, I got handed irons to make a wish...

Lived to hate, to the state was just another ape to frisk...

The begotten forgotten, the covenant was rotten...

Some days everything was grave, till we was plotting...

Never cupped my hands, fck what sam threw us out of guilt...

We aint ? that block of cheese and powdered milk...

Graduated hard knock where there's no diplomacy...

Shine; hope dimes pay attention, cops dont notice me...

After grace said "break bread", my friends ate...

The cyphers muddy, cycle's bloody till all my mens straight..."

@FruitOfTheVale I know you'll fck with this if you aint already

Brehs where can I listen to his music at? Didn't see him at all on Spotify and Apple music only has a few of his past albums

 

[darealvelle]

Is this album on  music? If so, I can’t find it.

I see Iron Works, Grief Pedigree, The Night's Gambit and Honor Killed the Samurai on Spotify. The rest, you'll have to just check out on YouTube, I guess.

EDIT: Nvm, it's all there, just under the collabo names like Dr. Yen Lo or Hermit and the Recluse. It's easier to find if you search for the project title, instead of Ka.

Enjoy. Support the brother if you can.

Just to chime in I came up with this quick little loop that just came to me off a sample I had back in the day that I found on youtube, the only place I could find it. I just finished it just to show my Latin divine sample. I just wanna speak my mind and say you people should probably not use these divine samples I don't think it suits you well. That divine sample on the album is mediocre. Yall still not tryin very hard huh?!

this sample is done real quick on a whim. Experimenting with time cus I had to look up how to time stretch.lol. I just wanna say i have not made even a loop in like a long ass time, years and years so that's why there's no drums on it i refuse to click some drums.lol.. fukk it here:

File on MEGA

it's been a long night goodnight to my brothers and sisters. peace

We are Groot???!!

Spoiler: We are Groot?

Move quiet, but the plan's sound

Problem's we at the bottom, that's where all the tops is slung
Hate the poor but in beef, take no bull, only ones brung

 

[Zero]

Quiet and frigid disposition, growin' up in the cold
Surprised I ain't get high from what I was low enough to behold

The first verse of Solitude of Enoch

Got to be in grace first to fall from it
That money chased birthed the full summit
Was wasteful as big eyes and a small stomach
Funny used to call my friends money, I lost hundreds
From low lands, shook of no man, God fearing
I death threats, not deaf yet, I'm hard hearing
Revenge is the engine, with my heart steering
Enough disastrous crashes, had to start veering
Had to use your fists to change your fiscal
Figuring how to get rich became the ritual
As teens bought full magazines, if we had an issue
We all had beef, but for dinner having gristle
More hooded, even headed in doubt, short footed
Fear built relationships rapport couldn't
Being angelic get you popped, saying something that's off-putting
Feeling weak for being in love, like a Moor shouldn't
Was action packed, cut your cap just to hate hub
For years spoke the code like every place bugged
Since them dudes in school, move like I taste blood
Fights bought forty nights, like the great flood
Still a nexus to the treacherous gutter
Kept two, never monochrome, my gift technicolor
Like the coat of Joseph, hope it don't affect my brother
Became man of the house quick, had to protect my mother
One of my cousins said he was gon' beat me like my pops
I blacked out, was ready to leave him in a box
My sister calmed me down, saw me reaching for the shots
That's my linchpin, since then, we been on the rocks

Then the beat switch

Land of Nod

You can tell I'm in fact a native
I live this vivid shyt, I ain't that creative

The fiends took grams as we shook hands, cause neither had a fair shake
Already living with prisoners, I couldn't be Scared Straight
Didn't invite friends over, cause never had a spare plate
Anyone who made it out of here I wouldn't dare hate
Generally outgoing, but around the D, coy
Malaise most days, be years before I speak joy
What they profess is estrogen, and I don't eat soy
And I can't party when they party, tryna kill each boy
Motion to the hoes, learned from burning bush
Had to have some pull before its your turn to push
Was on the corner by night/Knight, confirmed as rooks
But made more on the job than what's earned as crooks

Yeah this verse right here… so many slick bars

My favorite verse on the project might be the second verse on the first track though

"Moms made rice, I ain't ate a grain
Nobody played nice, I was breed in pain
Had to cuff a gun, was nothing done in Jesus name
Years of school was cool, but only street smarts we retain
Big risks for little rewards
The sum of all these guns is trigger remorse
Another daughter on the border with illicit tryna get it across
Too many married in games they shoulda divorced
Of course, that's loyal to a fault
They said it though, you never know who loyal, until you caught
The people I love, blood, is in the soil that I walk
On them curbs served a servant, but it's royal when I talk"

real street poet fr
