R.I.P. Brownsville KA 😢🙏 he passed away

Rest in power, Kaseem. You were taken much much too soon.

Shoutout to Myke and the DEHH crew for being such in integral part of introducing a lot of us to Ka's music. If it wasn't for that first review of "Honor Killed the Samurai" I would not know who Ka is. Now Ka is in my top 5 of all time and his music has had such a huge impact on me.

RIP Ka 😢

I get chills every time I hear “if they really wanted to bless me should’ve passed me the collection plate”. Sometimes KA will give you these really complex bars with crazy wordplay, and other times he’ll give you a simple line like this that just cuts straight to your soul.

God, I had that line in the video too, but took it out to keep the video from being too long. But I took it out to keep the video from being too long. But that line is seriously incredible.

@moussegarbonzo8352 2 ай бұрын

The Thief Next To Jesus is a masterpiece, and it's far from Ka's first. But he's becoming more ethereal with each release. One foot in the deepest gutter on earth and the other in the upper atmosphere, while he balances perfectly in this enlightened state. This is literal soul music.

I really enjoyed the new Alaska album. My first introduction to him was on Cannibal Ox, but I’ve been slowly diving into his work. I highly recommend this album. I also recommend his Podcast “Call Out Culture,” for those who haven’t checked it out.

It's refreshing to do! Folks really don't get it but I seriously hated reviewing albums that I didn't like towards the end of my time with DEHH. It's just too much energy spent in the wrong direction for me.

Ka album is so freaking dope. No skippables for me but love Beautiful the most. Alaska steel tip dove is very cool. Definitely a new fan. Love Necromancer especially since that was my favorite book as a kid. Super geeky. 🤘🏿🤘🏿

Ooh excited to hear thoughts on aj suede, i think his latest project is my fav of his to date. If you ever get the chance see him live, his energy and stage presence are night and day compared to the studio recordings.

I think Myke would love the self titled album by Økse that came out on backwoodz recently. Great experimental jazz with features from armand hammer, cavalier and maassai

Myke listen to the new Joey Valence and Breas album "No Hands". It's like a modern-day version of Beastie Boys, but in a way that isn't corny. You'd get down to the song "the baddest"

You would probably dig the self titled ØKSE album. It is live band Hip-Hop by an Avant/Free Jazz band with verses from Billy Woods, Elucid, Maassai and Cavalier. Definitely an interesting release this year. Half and half on instrumental songs and Rap

I gotta check these out! You always steer in a solid direction man, I love your videos. I was also curious about what your thoughts on the last two Aesop Rock projects were like? I was wondering why you didn't cover them for a while until I saw the split from DEHH and was like "oh that tracks"😂

@SnailPhone 2 ай бұрын

I'm really interested in your thoughts on the new Em album, but with what you said in the intro I totally understand if you don't end up making that video. Personally, I feel like the critical response to it has been strange. I don't think it's a perfect album, but I feel like a lot of critics, even ones I respect, are taking a lot of what's on it at face value without properly dissecting or trying to understand it as a whole. You've always been great at not doing that and pulling things from albums that others seem to miss. Either way, I appreciate all that you do Myke. Keep up the great work man!!

@mykectown 2 ай бұрын

I actually agree with you that the critical response has been odd. I blame that mostly on the fact that Em is the current punching bag for critics who like to be negative. I've legit heard folks shit on Em lyrics but then prop up artists whose pen is infinitely worse and just mark it off as "it's for the LOLs". It's stupid to me. That's not to say that Em doesn't have some bullshit on this record. He does. But I think acting like he's a singular voice when it comes to making cringy bars is shit journalism.
