His first groups, Natural Elements and Nightbreed, generated buzz in the early \u201990s but never found commercial success as the rap zeitgeist moved away from sophisticated rhyme schemes and bare-bones beats. <\/p>\n<p>            At the turn of the millennium, he shifted his focus from music to his new job with the FDNY. In the late aughts, though, just before making captain, he started rapping again, self-releasing his first official LP, <i>Iron Works<\/i>, in 2008. \u201cNo one knows what they were put here for but what I do best is write rhymes,\u201d he told The FADER; \u201cthat is my gift for this world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            For the next 16 years, he was as uncompromising as they come; he bounced between 24-hour firefighting shifts and 12-hour studio sessions \u2014 not to mention the time he spent writing (sometimes weeks on a single bar), and sold all of his own records on Stamps.com: CDs for $10, vinyl for $20.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264884\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264883\" class=\"content_block paragraph video triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ka - Cold Facts\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vKlCUHjU7p4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('264883');\n<\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264867\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            Following the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> of Ka\u2019s passing, writers, fans, and fellow artists flooded to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> to pay their respects.
