Rapper, producer and firefighter for 20 years
Wasn't hip to his music but he was a productive member of the society
R.I P
He was what I'm still aiming to become career wise. Make money in hip hop and a well paying career.
I always worked, I get paid alright - but not really good but a home, raise a family have a car easier money.
I think what Ka did with his work is what 90 percent of indie rappers should do. Certainly if can't sustain a living off of music. Including formerly signed rappers. Including Damon Dash.
It's like go for your dreams and name, but see the cold facts and get that money to live good.
He was an incredible example of being a human being and artist.
I remember when that shyt rag New York Post exposed him for grimy lyrics. Idiots. Happy to see he became a fire captain from fireman through that era.
You have to be physically strong to be a fireman.
line.
and I listened ever since.
Erykah Badu put me onto Ka, she was posting his videos early. I start posting his shyt on SOHH. He signed my vinyl at Fat Beats, he seemed like a real good and genuine dude. Damn!
