I had the nastiest feeling listening to Firehouse that it was lightning in a bottle, but I expected at least some of that unheard of imagery and insane wordplay to resurface on Ka's album. But lyrically it's mostly pretty bland street stuff. Stylistically it's unique among what I've heard: obnoxiously low-end beats and lyrics delivered in a slow scratchy whisper. I still believe in Ka on the strength of Firehouse so I'd like to listen to this again and some of his other stuff, but as of now he's going in my untapped potential file.
Choice cuts: DNA, Mr. Officer, Children
Quite fun, but the scope of the lyrics don't quite match the monumental beats. Still some great stuff in there on that end though. The more melodic stuff is gorgeous, I'd love to see them expand on that.
Choice cuts: DDFH, Sea Legs, No Come Down
