Ka - The Thief Next to Jesus (2024)
Ka's ninth album, The Thief Next to Jesus, is a masterclass in introspective, drumless production, built around sparse gospel and blues samples. Known for his minimalist, philosophical approach, the Brownsville emcee dives deep into themes of faith, survival, and morality. Tracks like “Bread, Wine, Body, Blood” and “God Undefeated” reflect on personal and collective struggles, while others like “Such Devotion” and “Collection Plate” layer soulful beats to convey Ka's profound meditations on loyalty, poverty, and perseverance. It’s an album that demands close, repeated listens to appreciate its poetic depth and religious overtones(Hip Hop Golden Age)(UndergroundHipHopBlog.com)(The Needle Drop).
