These last two albums could have been very ponderous or cheesy, with their themes (honor/Samurai and Greek mythology) but they work because he weaves them into his own personal story perfectly. Especially on this one. Viewing Brownsville/the streets as a Greek tragedy, the various gods and mythic figures...it just works man.
:wow:

I can't dap the production enough. Many great rappers have a certain production sound they sound best over. For Ka, it's those atmospheric, haunting, dark yet epic beats where his voice cuts through the hardest. I'm thinking of tracks like this:




Those beats almost sound mournful and nostalgic. This album is FULL of this vibe. It even hits you with it right out the gate with Sirens.
