Has some of my favorite Ka songs ever on it and no lower than top 3 for me, TKG is a must

You and @FIFTY950 real for having HKtS ranked one

I might have yen lo top 1 on a good day. I looove that project

1200 BC does not get enough love. Love that EP so much

It took me a while but I had on repeat through what was a very bad winter bookending a very bad year but yeah yen lo is gold and I still know there's so much for me to uncover there

This s*** is unbelievable

You named them hustlers, killers, fiends, ex-cons
I called them cousins, aunts, pops, moms
To you? Hoodlums, crackheads, gunmens
To me? Just neighbors, classmates, young friends

Was hardened at a tender age
Learned every trick, every trade
Shoulda been looking at the books
Instead of mastering the cooking and the jooks
With all I’ve grown to see
With no help with wealth, what else I was gon' be?
I know them deeds in my head is foul
But when that belly growl its yelling now
...its yelling “now”

Best goons in the next room
Sun down in gun town, catch wreck soon
Stale living got me risking a fresh tomb
Rose out the ghetto to peddle, let’s bloom
Won't be surprised if guys ran up shoot me
Stunnin work, from the dirt, can't uproot me
The truth, I never tire of tellin it
Under this roof, not a desired dwellin
Strips hard after discharge flying shellings
Another petty fight, every night is yelling
Childhood memories of wild hood felonies
Quick sug’ if you get good sellin these
I supine true rhyme, you prone for fakin
No pork, afford to walk home to bacon
Speak for streets but hearts are aching
Where they stop asking and start taking
When that belly growl, it’s yellin “now”*

Breathe heated moments frozen in poem
No need for team, I goes it alone
If you came to frame me I pose with the chrome
Coke that is broken, it's the woes of my home
Known to stem then from when we had shackles
Never planned to be a family tree of bad apples
Befuddled, how come my struggle extended hard?
Is it payback from way back, offendin god?
True fact occurred to me: life's harsh
It’s too black and dirty to whitewash
To be a model citizen take a lot of groomin
In the hallways there’s always a body loomin
Blessed cops ain't killed me young
Reppin' blocks not knowin' where we really from
For that savin gravy we holdin biscuits
Thought d*** traffick was our road to riches
Not just wordplay, serious sentences
Laid back style, still hearing the emphasis
Do notes, never netted by blue coats
My anatomy is live reality, I don’t do hoax
No petty minds, it's heavy lines, a few quotes
We’ll see who drinks, who sinks, who floats

Destined one of my favorite rap songs ever

Destined to the end of the album are all some of my favorite songs ever, special pen/talent

I need a f***ing ka hoodie man. Missed out on that last release. Hkts and Martyrs Reward would be hard

Cant be p**** in a dog fight

(You can't!)

Holy s*** also just caught C/arms D/feat

That hoodie he was rocking in the I Notice music video looks like future merch

No Christmas wishlist, all I got was Santa’s claws

Playin foul game showed us it’s a problem when the ref notice
What best soldiers had in common was Ramen, no leftovers

don’t touch the custys

Wave em through

lupe x ka when?

Curious how you think they’d overlap artistically

Just came in here after watching his redbull interview, dude is legitimately a monk created from the streets it's incredible.

Best interview I’ve ever seen. Such an insight. His humility is really so commendable
