Albums The Hermit & Recluse (KA x Animoss of The ArchDruids) - Orpheus & The Sirens (Stream + Discussion Thread)

[Big Mel]

Ahhhh. It’s nice to see the coli spirited for KA.

Imagine thinking Nas is better at rapping than KA. Imagine being more moved by Lupe Fiasco than KA.

 

[Figaro]

Man this album is amazing brehs, gritty, thought proving & deep as fukk.

 

[choc_cardigan]

Its mans shyt vas deferens

 

[TrifeGod]

I've had this on repeat for almost 2 days straight tied in with his other projects

I love Roc but KA got me up late night starin' at the moon n shyt askin God why

 

[TrifeGod]

It's also funny how the first time I heard KA was on Gza aka The Genius Album...it all just makes sense after these years

I can't compare him to Gza but when you write his lyrics down they look like newspaper articles just like Gza...just straight lyrics that resemble buildings

 

[Zero]

"In my end days, pray I save more lives than I take
I pray I save more lives than I take"

Knowing this man is now a firefighter...absolutely beautiful.

If what you provide is not inspiring, I’m not amused
When world hurt me, Euterpe was the 9 I used
Hope you pick appropriate when it's your time to choose
Our boys hard as Spartans, if not trying hardest, you tryna lose

EUTERPE was one of the nine Mousai (Muses), the goddesses of music, song and dance. In the Classical era, when the Mousai were assigned specific literary and artistic spheres, Euterpe was named Muse of lyric poetry. Her attribute was the double-flute.

New York Rap’s Greatest Living Treasure

Ka phones his baby cousin Shania, whose father just got out of a rehab halfway house, to make sure that the $300 he sent for school supplies has arrived through Western Union. “The part I like about having something now is being able to help,” he says.

 

[Awesome Wells]

One of the few MC's who's actually gotten BETTER after doing their thing for over 20 years.

I've been a fan of this dude since '93-'94, and he's only grown with his pen game. It's dope to see how he's mastered his craft. This album is 5/5 for me. They took their time with this one. I think he said a couple years, but it was definitely worth the wait. This is top shelf lyricism at its best.

 

[Mountain]

With the help of @Walt and @FruitOfTheVale I think I've got most of the verses down.

"in the land of Kings I'm the ace in the hole/ preoccupied with skin then you vacant in soul/ youngin in haste, you running in place if you're chasing a fold/ son, your earth will value your worth when your paper erode/ pro-destiny till she professed to me put her faith in a pole"

Lyrics updated, sorry yall I think it's right now. Revised bellow:

"in the land of Kings I'm your ace in the hole/ preoccupied in skin then you vacant in soul/ youngin in haste, you running in place if you're chasing a fold/ son, when you earn value your worth and your paper will roll/ pro-destiny till she professed to me put her faith in a pole"

This isn't office/people music lol. It's like playing obscure indie folk or rock music for people who listen to Coldplay all day...not gonna work lol.

I love a lot of rap like this tho. Ka, Elucid, Billy Woods...their shyt always ends up on my top 10 lists at the end of the year and my friends are baffled.
