Ka - Off The Record

[@theneedledrop]

JEALOUS OF THESE REOCRDS!

[@tomschult133]

I just came from your latest Ka review. Thanks for all the great recommendations man, I still appreciate and benefit from them today!

[@Mohgenstein]

Minor spelling mistake, I win.

[@theneedledrop]

[@BACHKA]

theneedledrop What’s up baby!

[@Mohgenstein]

What’s up baby!

[@thunderbird4116]

What's up cookie recipe!

[@mamba4817]

What's Ka best album?

[@ricsmith5730]

This song is dope asf. That room is heaven.

[@toteknowledge]

+Ric Smith wouldn't be able to hold my composure in that place, KA & Roc done made me appreciate places like this, in this social media era I done forgot about the Roots of physically going to find songs. That look like a hip hop vatican

[@MrDrumsplease]

the thing?

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

RIP KA! 😭 Your spirit will live on forever thru your music 💙

[@7deepbreaths]

That was cool how he followed "Reasonable Doubt" with "Illmatic".....KA is the greatest....gave a brotha his inspiration back

[@7deepbreaths.sounds]

Then followed that by Ready to Die....(it's also cool that I am replying to my OWN comment from 6 years ago...)

[@Canib0x]

every album this man makes was/will be classic

[@kgeez91]

The Night's Gambit top 10 hip hop albums of the decade! Grimy and lyrical

[@darrylmiller9643]

Days With Yen Lo is even better.

[@Swaze742]

Grief pedigree is better

[@talentedmrflowers]

Orpheus vs The Sirens is greater

[@MultiLex101]

"Ka is continuing to build a very strong legacy." this. I honestly don't think he realizes how brilliant his work is. The videos, the instrumentals, the weight and substance of his lyrics .e.t.c. everything is masterfully crafted. Once again well done Ka, keep up the good work.

[@KM-pn1vk]

this is the first time i've seen this video. i cant even put into words...this dudes....fuck. aaaaaaaaaaaaaah this is so dope

[@toteknowledge]

"Every" was the song that got me into KA but this song showed me why he would eventually usher his way into my personal top 5 & soon to be maybe favorite. The imagery & cohesiveness of this record is beautiful. This song gave me inspiration just as a fan of hip-hop...I found KA 'digging thru the crates' & this song will entice you to dig even deeper. That's why I love that golden era...you can always find something for You even Now. Pleased a lot of them dudes are resurfacing, such as KA, & getting their homage. KA just took it to the 10th, I've never seen a rapper reinvent himself (aside from Ransom) as well as KA did. ALL ARTIST take notes...off the record!

[@toteknowledge]

+ArC Live (*adding on*) anybody interviewing him in future, would be a great question to ask how long it took to write this song. I love his is 1 of the very few that admits it might take months to complete a joint...you can tell, hence the quality.

[@Ginsing88]

Ever since listening to Grief Pedigree he became one of my fav artists. I bought all his projects from Iron Works on CD to Days With Dr. Yen Lo on wax. Salute. Real heads appreciate the work Ka puts in. Dude is a genius.

[@meechy9166]

A Classic paying homage to infinite Classics!!!💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥 KA has a way with his words, truly one of a kind!!! This album is a Certified Classic!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GROB410]

Dope..Reminds me of a GZA type concept. (Labels etc.)

[@srpskisica]

REST IN PEACE AKHI 4 EVER KA THE GREAT. INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAYHI RAIJI'UN. ☀

[@fnsolem]

As a 16 year old I am happy to say I know each and every one of these albums dope to see someone rappin abt em like that

[@eljuba]

As much older than a 16 year old lol my heart is glad to hear the tradition continues, peace youngster!

[@fnsolem]

@@eljuba I’m 19 now lmao thanks for bringing me back to this record

[@eljuba]

@@fnsolem Keep hip-hop alive king! The culture needs you.

[@AbbottSupreme]

Brilliantly ILL concept KA WordUp! Gratitude Love N Much Respect From Canada Brother, and as always your lyrical content, flow, delivery and video editing is a statement of excellence and enlightenment! Peace N Blessings!!

[@toteknowledge]

KA the most slept on artist & this song ("Every" too) are his most slept on songs

[@jackgillespie3431]

Damn... I need that record collection

[@Michael-pi2be]

Busting out the classics

[@AD.AD.AD.]

Greatest of all time. Not to be put lightly.

[@eurone215]

KA is a breath of hip hop fresh air

[@bmoneydestroyer]

Tribute! Great track. So many good albums in that stack!

[@Bossdeni]

Got a feeling this albums gonna be the best 15pound i ever spent lol does remind me of "Labels"but in a good way, this was painstakingly crafted so All praises due.

[@mixbystos.online7988]

Great record! Glad to have mixed it!

[@ohdagee]

Pure art on this record and visual on point. KA could never go wrong. Respect!

[@Raphie009]

If you needed like...a quintessential golden era and hardcore era hip-hop starter guide...this one video is it.

[@CharlesExSavior]

On some very real shit, Ka is an incredible, total package Hip Hop artist. I can't believe how inspiring he is. Every single album mentioned in "Off The Record" were hood favorites and undeniable classics.

[@vegantrader]

KA has got to be the most underrated MC in the game!

[@FANO562]

Rip KA legend!!

[@qwyxer]

This song and this video are amazing. Truly brilliant. KA and Roc Marci, the best thing to come out of New York in years.

[@darrylmiller9643]

Don't forget Skyzoo and Torae

[@yehor_ivanov]

great, great song one of the best conceptual ones in t' genre, I'd say this dude is a sure master craftsman - shout-out, Percee P) Cheers, KA

[@mider-spanman5577]

Now this is one of the songs that should show people he's one of the greatest lyricists of all time! He creatively paid respect to his Hip-Hop forebearers and influences. A true ode to Hip-Hop history. Ka was the truth!!! 🫡🙏🏿🕊️

[@baliuz]

Ka is truly one of the best MCs right now. Really appreciate how genuine and humble he is.

[@sdmgpromotions398]

This could’ve been the anthem for celebrating the 50 years in HIpHop

[@CarlitoRoc]

Ka is continuing to build a very strong legacy. Much respect and continued success my man.

[@barqbyte9532]

I don't think it gets any more real than that. Wow.

[@LittleAxMedia]

No words. Just elation. Thanks Ka.

[@METALFACEDOOM441]

Lyricism at it's finest 🔥🔥🔥

[@IKnowObviously]

Ka's in my top five! This brother hasn't disappointed me yet! Salute

[@OliveAir26]

Every genre of music needs a love song to that genre. I think this it for hip hop.

[@abysstruthpoet]

Top five all time story telling track man died way way to soon

[@husleman]

oohhh, this nigga is nice. It's dope how he's telling a story using record names in his rhymes.

[@saulgood2548]

This is dope!

[@Keaksgotbeats818]

KA FOREVER ♾

[@npmanifested]

Yo the Nights Gambit is dope af. On constant repeat.

[@cratedivizion]

ka is the truth, this is incredible

[@mikemac7603]

Pure Dopeness!!!!! #RealHipHopIsForever

[@ABANICOSANYO]

Probably the most creative song and video I've ever heard.

[@StrictlyHighGrade]

I introduced Lord Jamar last nite to your music,he is feeling every single joint!

[@rdebs]

ka is so dope.... and hes humble

[@MelficeSephiroth]

Met KA earlier today at the old location at Fat Beats. Real cool and chill, got the album signed ("2nd one wit it" =D) and took a pic. I like how he was actually there to chop it up with fans and sell the album. Going to listen to it soon! KA/Roc Marciano album on the way!

[@nbdydgo]

RIP 😔😔

[@madhandz]

Can't wait for the album to drop. Track has been on repeat since I heard it. Being a vinyl junkie the video is heavy!!

[@kenillla]

Ka, one of the most underrated

[@buckyblends]

My man Tone Spliff turned me on to Ka 8 years ago this week as we drove from N.Y. to L.A.. He's on some other other shit.. Respect!

[@prodbyb0nds]

Mad creative..luv it 💪🏾💯

[@toteknowledge]

"far as respect, we failed as teens...was colder, now older, Its All Hail the Queens" I play this song every week & KA everyday.

[@tingokuman]

That's the creativity that hip hop was predicted on. Hip hop is an artform that took special wordsmiths aka MCs.

[@bongzynskywycz]

So Excellent

[@okeke80]

All Classics...

[@Metamophisis]

Dope video and concept! I just copped this cd bro! I love the fact you spit that real NYC rap! I'm going cop all of your cd's bro peace!
