NYPD has his back at fires.
Via The Daily Mail:
A New York Fire Department captain has been exposed as living a ‘double life’ as a rapper who sings lyrics about violence and projects an ‘anti-cop image’.
FDNY Captain Kaseem Ryan, 44, who is assigned to Engine 235 in the Brooklyn neighborhood Bedford Stuyvesant.
However Ryan also goes by the name Ka, who sang in a 2013 song: ‘F- -k them cops and swats with night vision. I see your traps and your plots to dead us, y’all rolling with Kojaks, n- – -a, I got Berettas.’
Ryan was outed as having the alter ego by The New York Post on Sunday.
He is a veteran firefighter who commands Engine Co. 235 and has performed with Wu Tang Clan’s GZA.
Ryan addressed living a double life in a 2015 interview, however he did not reveal that he worked for the FDNY.
‘I’m living two lives, man,’ he said.
‘I’m trying to be who I am in the day and then trying to feed my soul at night with being the artist that I want to be.’
Ryan earned $148,558 as a fire captain last year.
According to Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, Ryan’s day job is completely at odds with his rapping persona.
‘The biases he portrays through his music are indicative of what he believes or feels,’ Mullins told The Post.
‘As a New York City firefighter, he should be trying to bring people together rather than fracture relationships, especially in communities of color.’
