Not many things in life compare to a good barber. This is because you know regardless if you are in dire need of a full cut or a simple edge up, the outcome will always be the same – quality work. That is unless, of course, you go to the barber whose chair is never occupied in which case you should be slapped for not knowing the unwritten rules of barbershops. The same sort of logic can be applied Big K.R.I.T. and taking in his music.
The man hailing from the crooked letter state with a penchant for production and soul exposing bars sat down with the folks of Good*Fella Media for an interview that went far beyond music at times. What many may not know is K.R.I.T. Wuz Here was nearly the end of the road for Krizzle who was growing tired of pouring his heart out on record with no results. That vein of “back-against-the-wall” honesty is an example of why his music and story has always resonated with me. We have all been there at some point. Hell, some of us are there right now. They also go on to speak about how Play Station was what opened his eyes to the production world and why his family remains a key inspiration for every instrumental created and lyric written.
In terms of music, K.R.I.T.’s Return Of 4Eva – produced entirely by himself – is set to drop next month. This King Remembered In Time may be a wide eyed freshman to some, but to others he is more of an upperclassmen who has proven he is more than just potential. The real deal is more like it.


hii power jets and cinematic is the futur who the fuck dosent agree?
Currently waiting for my The Wuz Here Sessions vinyl to be delivered to my apartment. KRIT is definitely making great music and his humble soul is very connectible.
KRIT may not be the next big name mainstream artist, but he’ll be a champion for those who want heart and emotions in their hip hop songs.

hold up!
“Country Shit” was my introduction to K.R.I.T. and i’ve had him in the rotation ever since. The next project shouldn’t disappoint
what happened to that mixtape him and yelawolf was supposed to be doing?
Krit gives a dope live performance. Can’t wait for Return of 4eva!
Big K.I.R.T. is a f#ckin champion!
@Athrin, you get that email about the repress of the vinyl since the first edition didn’t come out right?
best rapper/producer out.
@Henri Whitaker
Nahhh I didn’t. When are they supposed to be shipping out?
Before late 2009-early 2010 I wasn’t into listening to any new comers because I felt that they lacked a certain trait that guys like Nas, Jay and the other vets had.
I heard about Big KRIT last year in April and haven’t stopped playing his music since. The reason I think KRIT is so dope is because he pours his heart and soul into every track he does whether it’s his own or just a feature (even his production). The dude has that IT factor and I think he is one of the illest cats to hit the scene since Lupe Fiasco.
@Young Steretotype
YES!
referring to a post earlier about sound quality, why was KRIT Wuz Here never released in a better KBPS? i can’t tolerate low quality output. it ruins music.
Personally I thought he was above the Freshmen cover like Drake and Nicki the year before. He could get a cover by himself soon enough
I know this is more relevant to the post about the decline of the South’s stranglehold, but KRIT said he was discovered by Def Jam in Atlanta.
Artists like Travis Porter, Flaka, Roscoe Dash, etc who are getting national radio play without the need of a XXL Freshmen cosign are localized and established their fanbase in Atlanta.
Atlanta is the new Mecca of Hip Hop, so even if you have (this illusion of) Southern rappers falling off, you’re missing the larger point: the strong influence of Atlanta on the business/industry end of Hip Hop.
@ Gus, the free mixtape was released low quality, and the HQ version was released on itunes. he did it on purpose bruh
