Ka, Brooklyn Rapper and 9/11 First Responder, Dies at 52
Ka, a Brooklyn rapper, producer and 9/11 first responder, has died at the age of 52.
“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,” reads the post. Ka rose to the rank of FDNY captain and was a first responder on September 11, 2001, during the attacks on the World Trade Center. I feel like if I didn’t have a job, that’s when I would have to compromise myself a little bit more.” In 2016, the New York Post stirred up controversy by publishing a story that painted him as an anti-cop rapper leading a double life as a firefighter.
