Not even sure how to rank KA's albums from Orpheus Vs. The Sirens to Grief Pedigree.I feel like I'd be doing a disservice to the albums that get ranked lower

pen game ridiculous. Listening dude is literally the audio version of

It's not riddle rap and he doesn't even rap over your head.

The rap version of a boxer that's practiced throwing a jab 5000 times a day. It's only a simple jab, but when he throw it in a match, it's one of the most beautiful things you ever seen.

When you get hit you're like " that was a jab!?"

Perfect description, the lines flow together very crisply without the overwordiness of a lot of lyrical rappers but the bars are still potent and often to a degree that catches you by surprise on the first listen. Also his word choice is flawless

"They hold a grudge for my melanin
On the strength of my dubs, get love as a skeleton
My crust wasn't upward so in slump how I never been
The good said it, I'm hood medic, rushing you medicine"


I pride myself on my penmanship and it's albums like this that keep me hungry to sharpen my penmanship some more.

KA is a mystical wordsmith.
monotone voice hits like a hammer on an anvil.
hypnotic
Spending years adding ,subtracting,refining.
Crafting his art,forging his weapon

Then when the time is right he immerses the curated words into the audio back drop

What's created is strong yet subtle.
Precise yet all encompassing.

KA the lyrical swordsmith

I don't know why everyone wants to leave Iron Works off, his first ghetto soliloquy. The "Belly" of his cinematic approach. It was like a new chapter being born, that explains his descent into the Tragic Hero style of story telling.

 

[TRY GOD]

A poster said it best, it's like a man time traveling through all his past lives; different eras, but it's the same story, his life story. He needs to over come the struggles of his environment, no matter how careless the mistakes, in order to learn life's lesson.

There is usually a mentor theme in his album process; yen lo, the sensi, the chess master; bestowing great knowledge to the student (the listener). what the listener does with the jewels hopefully helps them to find their path.

This album seems Like Self reflection. The mentor has achieved his mastership. Ka acknowleges His place in this game, and he is telling you what he can do for you, what he brings to the table. His Music and message rings louder than the sirens (the bullshyt)

 

[BlackDroog]

This brotha is truly a master of his craft. This album is...

I love artsy shyt with a theme and his lyrics are like classic literature.

All the bars that ain't clear to me for now, haven't gone through the rest oh the album yet.

Fate

0:35-0:58

1:51-1:53 "far as opponents our darkest moments became arts (odds?)"

1:42-1:44 "your tracks prove like fast food it's the same farce"

Orpheus

0:43-0:44

1:02-1:18 "might seem dusty but team trust me to celebration/now I shine but at times paler from the failure/they try themes but Kaseem's (seams) rarer I'm a tailor" (his name is Kaseem)

2:23-2:26 handshake is a contract, if that's broken/black's back, mack (or match) smokin/only herbs lobby for third party, that's facts spoken"

Atlas

0:44-0:58 "before you call a feast dodge all police charged to get us/many tours locked in war, won't be troubled by a witch hunt/calms ones decided to palm jums to fist pump/decided quiet but desired what the rich want/torn steadily, longevity or a quick stunt"

1:46-1:49 sounds like "almost picked apart by wicked dark plan of demise"

1:56-1:57 "to me it's vogue being rogue when the standard is lies"

2:18-2:30 "carve a dozen bars harder than the 12 Labours (that's a reference to Hercules)/but 12 (police) hated for heaven's sake for how hell made us/kept pacing and raised base due for my finish line/ paid my father's harvest, not barter for the sins that's mine" (not sure about the pacing and raised base due for my finish line part)

Argo

1:17-1:27

1:48-1:54 was stalked as lion brought the iron, they was too anemic/was ripe to fall they seen writing on the wall, few could read it

2:11-2:15 "I'm not amused (as in a muse from Greek mythology)/when world hurt me Euterpe was the 9 I used" Euterpe is one of the 9 Muses in Greek mythology

2:25-2:35 "they now surmising surviving that begot great/for pennies many in the night icing trying to stack cake/the morgue is reward if they draw and you react late"

Golden fleece

0:23-0:28 "the space on how we place? like Earth to stars/choose wise, the sides is Titans vs. the Gods" is what I hear

0:36-0:39 "for men and (forbidden? for many?) meeting of the minds, try and record the minutes"

0:46-0:48 "few winners, fewer dinners, they attitude defeatist (may attitude defeat us?)"

@Walt can you please lend an ear? If
youre busy I understand take your time. Anyone else that wants to take a stab at this go ahead : salute:

Will go through these when I have time and edit in the lines I hear

Fate:

"Survived ruins, was it my doing or fate?
We made it through, we made it through, we made it through...
Survived ruins, was it my doing or fate?
Is this prescripted, or am I doing it great?
We made it through, we made it through...

In the land of kings, ace in the hole
Preoccupied with skin then you vacant in soul
Youngin' in haste, you running in place if you chasing foes
Son, we earn value worth when your paper unroll
Pro destiny, she professed to me put her faith in a pole
And a pager or with the gauges all the ways I reload
Nothing sweet, I come to eat from them unsavory roads
Paid the price all my life to deciph, now I'm breaking the codes
Book of silence for crooked minders, went straight to the pro's
Symbol of grace in genuine place where fakers exposed"

"Spin lectures that's infectious, my strain harsh​

Your tracks poo like fast food, it's the same farts​

They all dipping on the road to riches, so my lane sparse
Whole story self incriminating, here's the main part
Far as opponents, on darkest moments became ours
Them blackjacks over 21, wasn't playing cards"

Orpheus

0:43-0:44

1:02-1:18

2:23-2:26

"For many moons, too goon to take advice
The way I was moving, yo, I soon take a life
Frightened maves , no righteous days or sacred nights
Stakes is high, but let a couple eighths fly then raise the price

Devastation laced in my presentation
Packed pound, won't back down, whatever facing
Judging from my ____, each chapter's a revelation
Might seem dusty but team trust me, this celebration
Now I shine, but at times, paler from the failure
They try things but KA seems rarer, I'm a tailor
But swims ____, ____ land lover, who the sailor?
"See I'm sick", never "boarded" only "courted" like a jailor
Graft 500 on my Ave, can't be semi-G
This tainted math ain't in class, in MIT
On my Deen, Supreme Being, to no men I plea
Potent topics spoke in pocket on the M-I-C

"Tumultuous culprit shyt fit in a calm rap
In this landscape, handshake is a contract
If that's broken, black's back mack smokin'
Only herbs lobby for third party, that's facts spoken"

Thanks for your help fellas.

 

[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 in 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"
