Honor Killed the Samurai is the fourth solo studio album by American rapper and record producer Ka.

[6] Hugh Leask of HipHopDX said, "Such menacing musical backdrops, coupled with Ka's hushed, raspy tone, ultimately imbue Honor Killed The Samurai with a quietly fearsome vibe which never lets up over the course of the album’s 10 tracks".

He never raises his voice, there are no sung hooks, and there is nothing here that you could dance to" and also "some people might find Honor Killed the Samurai kind of boring.

[4] Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork said, "With his latest, the Brownsville rapper cements himself as a preeminent stylist, his voice hushed but vicious, his production a grim rabbit hole of found sounds, minor keys, and few drums".

[2] Tom Hull said that the album "weaves samurai lessons into a more domestic thread, offering a sense of hard-earned accomplishment and brutal fates".
