10.23.24 | These seconds, these minutes are ours | robertsona
10.23.24 | I really should check him out more--I got interested in the music of the neighborhood I teach in through Masta Ace, and that paid off great dividends. Rest in peace, a really crazy loss | mkmusic1995
10.23.24 | An underrated gem of an artist for sure. Honor Killed the Samurai and Descendents of Cain are awesome records! RIP | Jash
10.23.24 | The fact he self produced and self released (aside from 2 and 3) all these albums while working full time as a fire fighter is wild, let alone the sheer level of quality he maintained throughout all the album | botb
10.23.24 | Only heard 1 and 4 but dude is one of a kind, for sure a huge loss for underground hip hop | someone
10.24.24 | Post your fave Ka bars, I'll start
I want compassion from the highest
food for the lowest
cures for the afflicted
rooves for the homeless
direction for the misled
heat for the coldest
love for the lonely
peace for the soldiers | ReefaJones
10.24.24 | In time you'll see a thin line between friend and rival
Between you and me, stupidity amends bravado
Almost died tryna make paper, now I pen survival
Mac-10's reliable in fight mode on that night road
Zoned out on the blocks, cops iso'd
Raw covering, enduring suffering more like Job
Here's a flashback: stash packs by the light pole
Recipe's desperately press keys like I write code
No typo, I'm quick-witted, you type slow
Promoters call me Moses by how I spark and leave
Notice, come through the crowd, my staff parts the sea
Make fly jams for live fans that's hard to please
You was badly trained while I parry, feint, bob and weave
In rough waters, niggas bolt, I stay and never waver
Y'all all sweet, I'm more unique with a better flavor
If my phonetics don't take, then I'mma net a caper
Carry the heat, reppin' Hull Street then Decatur
Stayed in hell all my life, I need heaven's visa
Know what's right, but can't change overnight like Ebenezer | someone
10.24.24 | Unfold my destiny
There's no one less than me
Behold my labor
There's no one greater
I plea to treat all just
To get what we need, we did what we must | Jash
10.24.24 | Tried the stove top to hop off the old block
None chipped in to save me
During my reign what I showered is gifts for the baby
Gears of war years before I enlisted with Navy
Too many struggling loved ones to ever sit in Mercedes
From that population where spread love's obligation
For a good span my hood ran like a sovereign nation
But then D-Days planes dropped off 'caine to freeways
Them pounds made battlegrounds in tenements and PJs
For economy many fought
Deeds in the street disastrous
Ironically many bought a Jesus piece or a Lazarus
Even friends in the frenzy became ravenous
Brothers named universal, wise, supreme became savages
It's said the common thread with our enemies
Is we was all men in need with no amenities
Couldn't sit in peace, we each hit the streets for remedies
Through the hatred accumulate a hundred arms we was centipedes
The stress of empty pantries kept us antsy
And all our essentials are essentially in a shanty
Can give scripture, but that big picture is what you can't see
Every grain I spelt is what helped enhance me
Went from gun waving to saving lives
Now give sight to the blind just for the 85
That's what I was at the line of scrimmage
Lost some folks, of course that growth redefined percentage
Doomed in the womb, surprised I ain't see a hanger
Start questioning affection when all you see is anger
But now I'm in good hands
Surrounded by good women, good babies, good mans
Hey I'm in good hands
Surrounded by good women, good babies, good mans | Jash
10.24.24 | Was filthy, you built me when I was all ruin
How you soaked me with compliments really helped out
Boasted all confidence in my self-doubt
Was dyin' from my thirst, you was clearly a well
It eventually made me empty, I was merely a shell
None observed, but was on the verge of crackin'
'Til you said I had a gift when you heard me rappin'
With your warm responses, I was taken aback
Former partners had me feelin' like what I was makin' was wack
Didn't offend me, saw somethin' in me I was blind to
Who knew to finish findin' me, I had to find you?
To close the thought, your support was life-savin'
Now death is minor, 'cause you got me livin' life major
I stayed forever, you make me better | someone
10.24.24 | Yeah "I Love" is one of the most heartwarming songs I've ever heard. | Jash
10.24.24 | A young man plan is a flan and some Jordans
Can't wait so break commandments and ordinance
And random assortments
Swore there wasn't nothing that a grand couldn't augment
Try and live wiser
Give what's written in my fibers
Til I'm sitting with messiah
Oh I've been denied and I'm slipping in a fire
Describe cause and effect
Many die violating laws of respect
Gun in my face paused in the sweat
Bought grace in the place raw intellect
Stranger visit, aim it and pivot like, "Who you?"
My pen grip descendant of Zulu
On my premier I'm paired as a Guru
Wack days, crack plays yeah it's brutal
Lost brother wearing cross-color fubu
Show love and of course love mutual
My favourite lines from one of my favourite songs, Day 13

An incredibly curated two hour mix of his work, the perfect introduction for people new to his work, and also a fantastic listen for long time fans | MiloRuggles
11.17.24 | Hard RIP. Thanks Jash, will definitely peep. Man had some of the tightest bars out. So little filler |
