Ka referenced his own death often in his music. Had an awareness of what he wanted to do in this lifetime, what he wanted to leave behind, his commitment to improving himself, his block, his city, his world, and hip hop. He lived his words. He will live on through them. RIP.

Ka's work always had the shadow of death and hunger for immortality over each shoulder. "I made every song on Grief Pedigree like it was the last song I might ever record. I want people to rock my shit forever and ever, so I that’s why I flooded every line."

To see Ka depart just as he was enjoying late, well-deserved success is beyond terrible. He struggled in silence for so many years wanting to be heard, and finally found our ears. I hope he basked in the love he got. We've lost one of our most tremendous and uncompromising MCs.

Rest In Peace @BrownsvilleKa. One of the greatest. I remember the first time I heard his music about 12 years ago, thinking how much of a hidden gem he was. Always respected how he safeguarded his work from the industry and operated on his own terms. No frills, just real

I always called him a living PROPHET because thats what he was to us. Me and Roc always said when KA rapped it was like he was delivering his words from the top of a mountain off a stone tablet. The truest man and artist i have ever been lucky enough to cross paths with. There is so much i want to say. It was an honor to call you a friend and comrade . Thanks Roc for connecting us. KA, you made all of us better. My condolences to the family. Rest easy Kaseem Ryan aka BROWNSVILLE KA . Till we meet again 🕊️

Doom recorded most of that over a three week period in my apartment on my MPC, using my records. He never slept for more than 3-4 hours at a time.

You can definitely tell Doom used a MPC 2000 to make Operation Doomsday. Stock 808 drums and all

MF Doom really passed away two months ago and we just found out today. Very on brand to the mystique that he held onto his entire career. Rest in peace. 😔

Doom was an example of not holding back, not filtering or dumbing down his intelligence & imagination, of being endlessly creative and recreating his own identity. What an example for us all as creatives.

I know we are in a pandemic but we have to celebrate DOOM. Just playing the music isn’t good enough.

One of the coolest things about DOOM, at least for people a certain age, is that someone put you on. Someone tripped out on what he was doing. They they came and played it for you and you were like what the fucckkk?! And then you ran it back. And then you told someone else.

These two projects will speak for us! This is a moment god has been building up for @radamiz and I since the first day we met. This is music for the hustlers, legal or illegal.

I appreciate all who listen to & support my art. I’m sad this time around I can’t shake hands & give hugs to express that. As always this will take a patient ear, there’s a lot to unpack so take your time with it. Digital downloads only on BrownsvilleKa.com 5/1 midnight EST
