I'm diggin this, bro. I could easily hear him rap over a beat with that kind of melody. The movie sample is on point too.
The one thing is that the drums seem like a little out of Ka's domain. Like if the beat was more bare I think he'd rock over it.
Absolutely agree, it sounds better when you strip it down to (honestly a little below) the bare minimum, good looks man!!
Curious for everyone's thoughts on the production? Especially the PRAY beat.
Also am I the only one finding it almost a little too overpowering in places and struggling to pickup lines?
Love it. I think this is his most consistently-produced album yet, with The Eye of a Needle as the exception. Every Now and Then and Unto the Dust specifically just fit the dark mood perfectly. And I really like how he had two beat switches in back-to-back songs to prevent it from getting stale.
Ka will always be a slept-on producer unfortunately. I wonder if he'll produce for others in the future tho, like billy woods or Navy Blue

Of course bro! I'd be interested to hear more Ka type beats itt

I was able to catch everything. I think the transitions are his best yet.
