KA - Honor Killed The Samurai

Review by Brooks Williams

Honor Killed The Samurai is the fourth studio album by American rapper KA. Released in 2016, the album features 10 tracks that showcase the artist's unique style and lyrical prowess.

KA's delivery is deliberate and measured, with his words flowing like poetry over minimalist beats. The album is a meditation on honor, loyalty, and the struggles of life. KA's lyrics are introspective and contemplative, with themes of self-reflection and self-improvement woven throughout.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Just," which features a haunting sample of a child's voice and a sparse, piano-driven beat. KA's lyrics on this track are particularly poignant, as he reflects on the meaning of justice and the role of the individual in society.

Damn straight minimalist, slow rap album against the tidal flow of Trap's current busy grip on hip-hop. A younger cousin to 90s British Trip Hop rebooted on the American East Coast for the 2010s.

You had it right with the sports reference. “My Boys in the tiers/tears, but they ain’t ball/bawl, they all strike. Meaning the guys around him don’t throw balls, they throw strikes. They’re in the top tier, and they do this even though they shed tears. And the line where he says “moving rocks like easter Sunday” he follows with “trynna get fly, ima slide, peep the runway”. Just saying peep is a reference to the Easter bunny candy and goes with the trynna get fly portion as well. A lot of lines/entendres hinge on previous or future lines and don’t always complete both sides. Most rappers will settle for a simpler sorta half entendre if the line works better. So any easier way to get a line if it’s not clicking is don’t take singular as much, but add it to the previous or next line, or both.

It’s hard to listen to Ka and not cry.

Trying to find a reason I'm still alive breathing, wanna heal my inner child it's been a while grieving.

Those bars are getting tattooed on my body very soon. My favourite ever bar in Hip Hop. Ka is that dude.

I Think Raekwon and A$AP Rocky would’ve been a Perfect feature for this Track, The Beat is so Laid Back and the Wailing Guitar Siren Kinda gives off a Psychedelic vibe ???
