Beginning of Episode (0:49).

Ka is one-of-one, and is easily one of the best lyricists in the game.

With Ka albums, the commonality to them all is that Ka is consistently committed to giving the listener true wisdom that come from a place of tried and true lived experience... with A1 level wordplay, with clever turns of phrase in almost every line.

The lyrical detail he brings makes every situation he paints feel remarkably surreal and urgent, where the gravity of a single decision, or thought of a character in a Ka song, feels like life or death.

This lyrical picture he paints is devoid of hyperbole, devoid of any romanticism... its the cold hard truth.

Yet, with most or all of his albums... the wisdom in learning and the concept of growth is always present in his music, which never makes any of Ka's albums come off as cynical.

This brings us to Martyr's Reward, which I think communicated this complex idea of hope better than any of his previous work.
