We must begin this week by paying tribute to Ka, a truly great rapper and producer who made uncompromising music for the real heads. May he rest in peace. The first segment of the show this week acts as a real-time processing of the incredibly sad news of Ka’s passing. DBRP hosts Demone Carter, David Ma and Nate LeBlanc share some thoughts on Ka’s music, his legacy, and the distinct unfairness that he released his art at a time when it will only be appreciated by a niche audience.
After that we are joined for a second time by rapper Kurious. We are discussing his new record Majician, which drops October 18th on MF DOOM’s Metal Face Records via Rhymesayers. Kurious really opens up here, detailing his previous struggles with overthinking, his decades-long friendship with DOOM, and even at one point has to pause the interview to resume parenting duties, something Demone can relate to!
Majician finds Kurious, who has always had a refined flow, in a deeply creative space, playing off of sample based beats from producer Mono En Stereo with a freewheeling nature not heard since his earliest work in the 90s. DOOM’s presence looms large, on the record and in this conversation, which gives the entire affair a distinctly bittersweet edge.
