"We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Kaseem Ryan (1972-2024), the rapper and producer known as Ka, who died unexpectedly in New York City on October 12, at the age of 52. Born and raised in Brownsville, Brooklyn, Ka lived a life of service - to his city, to his community, and to his music. As a 20-year veteran of the New York City Fire Department, he put his life on the line to protect his fellow citizens."
"Ka is survived by his wife, mother and sister. We kindly ask that the privacy of Ka's family and loved ones be respected as they grieve this incalculable loss."
"Throughout his career, he also released a pair of collaborative albums, 2015's 'Days With Dr. Yen Lo' and 2018's 'Orpheus vs. The Sirens' alongside Animoss. He was known for his understated, philosophical rhymes and spare production style."
