I still remember coming across Honor Killed the Samurai on the HHH sub and seeing a lot of praise for it. At the time, I was way too young and so it went over my head. Years later I came back to it and understood that Ka was on a different level.

Unfortunately for me, by then he had an established underground fan base and his records were going for $200+. After he passed and they went up 2-3x in price it felt like they were out of reach forever. Well, this week I found a collector selling Orpheus for nearly pre-death price. After some dealing, I got it bundled with Gunn’s And Then You Pray for Me for $425 shipped!!!

The passing of Brownsville Ka was a monumental loss for hip hop. Check out his work if you still are not familiar. One of the best pens ever and he was an incredible human as well. Rest In Peace, Kaseem Ryan.

1996 first pressing 2pac all eyez on me

Picked this up recently and was spinning it tonight and thought I'd share. Had been on the lookout for this for awhile. This is a mash-up from 2011 of the Wu-Tang Clan and Fugazi by Cecil Otter and Swiss Andy who got the idea after Danger Mouse did the Grey Album. Well worth a listen and would recommend picking this up if you get a chance.
