” KA – Nights Gambit “

GAM-BIT.

1: a chess opening in which a player risks one or more pawns or a minor piece to gain an advantage in position..

2: (2) : a remark intended to start a conversation or make a telling point..

After listening to KA’S new album “Nights Gambit” from front to back, the first thing that came to mind was cold weather…I’m not talking about a flimsy windbreaker steez, I’m talking Woolrich status at “Soldier Field in the middle of December” cold….

Even though Summertime is in full effect, KA manages to conjure up imagery of Winter warfare on the streets….The self-produced beats are beyond the classification of minimalism – some of these soundscapes are straight up “naked”, which leaves room for the listener to fully absorb the bleakness of his vocals….

I’m not going to attempt to compare this joint with his last effort (Grief Pedigree), but they both rock a similar frequency that consist of stripped down beats, tales of boulevard battles, poverty, and other aspects of the “struggle”…

This isn’t for everyone….Matter of fact, even if your a die hard Hip Hop head you will have to be in a certain type of vibe to rock this from front to back…
