Man, seeing this interview after he passed is just crazy. Been a fan of Ka for 10 years now and never saw this interview until now. Thank you for doing this and still having it up, it’s definitely huge for his legacy for people to be able to see this. RIP to one of the greatest to ever touch a mic, about to go spin Grief Pedigree now 🙏🏼

[@JuanBuenoJeanBien]

Night's Gambit was crazy and Days with Dr. Yen Lo is one of my favorite hip hop albums from this year. I've become a huge fan of this cat. He says things in this interview (and in his music) that resonate with me deeply. From 7:26 on... man. Put your ears to this and listen to a guy that understands the art of hip hop and takes it seriously. "There was another time when cats was like, "Yo! I didn't even write that rhyme!" or "I just spit that real quick." I was taking offense to all that. Aye yo B it takes time to sculpt. The Sistine Chapel was done in how fast you could do it. It took years. David was sculpted like, "Yo! I did that in a day!" There's no time on art..."- Ka

Chi-Town born and raised but love to see Hip Hop at its highest form still being made. Peace

[@mider-spanman5577]

Ka is one of the GOATS and the realest out currently. He is a true poet and always has somethung insightful to say in such creative ways. I've never heard an artist structure their words amd bars quite like this man and I can listen to him every day all day.

This probably the best interview/in-depth I've seen. Love that Out Da Box TV thinks outside the box! I listen to this frequently within last 2 years, just to hear that passion...you can't conceal that or deceit with it...KA is a true artist in every way. Gives you goosebumps how much he care about hip-hop..always a honor to see others that still respect the ART

Respect to earl but personally Ka’s depth exceeds in my own opinion, to the point he can see the reasons the world spins around different subjects-sometimes not having anything to do wit him. Not trying to ride his dick

[@AbbottSupreme]

Good lookin' KA, you're truly an #inspiration! Imho this is whats missin' in the game of late, cats keepin' it 100 is an invisible attribute. A humble insight, and most visible is your love and appreciation for your craft, the advancement of the art & the culture that you represent, You also stated that you're "blessed to be here" but on the real you're a #blessing to those of us who hear your words. I #respect how you approach the creative process, lookin' forward to future projects. #Bless One

@@davebuchi navy blue made a few songs and already you put him on a level he is not. As a skater he is very dope and he is blessed with a lot of privilege yes. But just because you can, is not the same as the one who musts. Urgency..the stage should be reserved for it. I would put Mach there. And some others, but not as a comparison, no need to do that.

[@davebuchi]

@@Stoney-Jacksman Fairs bruv I hear you. I agree Mach should be at the top I feel like they all deserve that shine. True no need to compare but they make great music, I feel like Mach and KA have been putting out projects for years and seeing the growth and respect they have is hella dope. I feel like God Fahim is up there too. Maybe legend in the making was the wrong choice of words but even from Navy’s SoundCloud days he’s a special talent.
