Bunny.net says it's still processing, but playable. So it should work? There's definitely a chance. I'm just tired of waiting, honestly, so here we go. Sorry for the delay. It's been a long day for me (still working on YouTube edits also).
Enjoy!

I have to play stigmata once daily just to hear the sample come in (obvious no diss to roc)

2022-11-20 16:34:21 +0000 UTCYup, gotta be patient and take your time with this guy. Easy to miss the intricacies otherwise

2022-11-20 16:30:26 +0000 UTCWould love to hear your take on a Roc Marciano project, he dropped an album with the Alchemist earlier this year, The Elephant Man's Bones. He has multiple songs with Ka

2022-11-20 00:17:46 +0000 UTCLove seeing underground lyrical rap on the channel! Maybe I can get my billy woods reaction by December 2023

2022-11-19 22:29:00 +0000 UTCIf you ever REALLY wanna test your lyric-dissecting abilities, check out El-Pβs Fantastic Damage. Itβs punk poetry over experimental electronic production, made entirely by him, in his bedroom. One of the best underground albums to ever come out of NYC in my opinion.

2022-11-19 20:12:21 +0000 UTCYou gotta do Orpheus vs The Sirens by Hermit and the Recluse. Duo project by Ka and producer Animoss. Super conceptual and dense

2022-11-19 19:55:44 +0000 UTCLove the reaction Ka is amazing!!
sam
2022-11-19 08:20:48 +0000 UTCive tried to listen to him very briefly in the past but never gave him a realchance. This reaction was so fun and really makes me want to go and listen to the rest of his stuff. I feel like this long form reaction content is the perfect thing to help people go through and digest his music

2022-11-19 06:15:57 +0000 UTCI've been so fucking excited for this album since I first heard you mention it. Ka is just such an incredible poet. He says so much with so little that it takes a while to really sink in. I understand people that think he's kind of boring cus he really doesn't have variety in flow or even tone, but really lets you just listen to what he's saying. Then you really start to notice how fantastic his rhyming is, and you'll probably notice in relistens that you can even not focus on the lyrics and it just becomes hypnotising. I originally found him from the Dead End Hip Hop review of this album and I think its really worth checking out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShbUdukbZbI If you dive back into Ka again, I suggest Orpheus vs the Sirens which is a colab with producer Animoss under the name Hermit and the Recluse, ala DOOM/Madlib. Where this used paralels to samurai, this he uses Greek mythology. A lot of his albums use some concept to paralel what he talks about: Knights Gambit uses chess, Descendants of Cain uses the story of Cain and Abel. Its just good shit.

2022-11-19 05:07:22 +0000 UTCYes! Please do more Ka, he's one of the greatest lyricists. Fun fact, Ka's voice is so gruff because he's a New York City Fire Captain.

2022-11-19 05:03:33 +0000 UTCRegarding the line "comp your wiz'" Comp is short for compensate, which you got. Wiz is Five Percenter slang for a female partner. Five Percenter slang is really common in NYC hip hop, even among people who aren't members. "Wiz" is short for "wisdom," which in Five Percenters' system of Supreme Mathematics, represents various concepts, including the number 2 and the union of man & woman.
