Much like its monochromatic predecessors, Descendants of Cain proves an exceptional listen. Pairing Ryan’s sublime lyricism with organic production and a precisely constructed concept, the MC’s fifth project is a superb statement piece from one of rap’s most ingenious poets.
While Descendants of Cain doesn't have the consistent mythos of Orpheus vs. the Sirens and is at times typical for Ka, his pen game and delivery are as sharp as ever.
