Heavy is the crown but K.R.I.T. continues to show he can take the weight. “I Got This” comes written, produced and performed all by the Meridian musical maestro. Read the rest of this entry »

Do a Jodeci sample justice and you’re alright in my book. Such is precisely the case with David Banner and Big K.R.I.T.’s new mp3, “Believe.” Borrowing K-Ci, JoJo, DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin’s “Love You For Life,” Banner and Krizzle profess their love for the crooked letter state Read the rest of this entry »

“You know God made black beautiful. God made Boobie beautiful. Black and Strong, and when Boobie knocks some fools out, Boobie gonna knock ‘em out with black Nikes on his feet. Ain’t that right? And I’m a smile when I do.” Read the rest of this entry »

Mo G:

“I don’t know about ya’ll, but I still like hearing music for the first time while in the car instead of on my computer. That’s how I fell in love with most of my favorite music: riding around, partying or doing something else I might not have had no business doing at the time. Krit agreed, which is why we chose to do a in-car listening session Read the rest of this entry »

For literally twenty years, 8Ball has been putting out albums. From the first release he and MJG dropped on Suave House back in 1992, up until the two LPs the duo released in 2011, this gold-toothed Memphis legend has fed his family from reciting the same Southern spiel for longer than half the rappers on the radio have been alive.

Once an artist lends his life to the spotlight, slinking away to the darkness isn’t always an option. The chances to go away, create and produce material to be consumed without scrutiny no longer exist. Somehow, some way, Big K.R.I.T. managed to pull himself away from the demands of being a rapstar long enough to create 4evaNaDay. Read the rest of this entry »

There’s a special place in my heart for Guy Ritchie’s East London-based ensemble crime flicks, so when I heard a quote from the somewhat obscure Rock N Rolla as the intro to Eldorado Red’s similarly-named “Rock & Role,” I was already sold. Read the rest of this entry »

Their area codes reside in different time zones, but Meridian, Mississippi’s Big K.R.I.T. and Massillon, Ohio’s Stalley have a lot in common. Both talented lyricists are willing and able to rap about more than party and bullshit, and 2011 saw the young duo reach unprecedented levels of success, punctuated by a pair of acclaimed mixtapes and several high-profile guest appearances.

“Hard to bury a partner, but harder to console a momma.”

Songs like “KING Pt. 2″ increase the gap between K.R.I.T. and the crowd. A follow-up to a 2010 track with a similar theme, K.R.I.T. uses Just Blaze’s “Lord Knows” to “say a lot” with the pulpit he’s been blessed with. Read the rest of this entry »

Having a rough start to your work week? Well, no worries, Seattle’s AD has enlisted the soulful sounds of Big Krizzle and Che Blaq to help inform people that “Patience” is maybe the most important virtue of all. Read the rest of this entry »

Killa Kyleon makes authentic mixtapes. As much that statement seems like it applies to damn near every other rapper getting biz, it doesn’t. After the final cut was made for the 2nd edition of Candy Paint-N-Texas Plates 2, K² still had a slew of quality records in the recycle bin. So while most have to scrap and struggle to put out a halfway decent project, DJ Charlee Brown did some mixing and Songs That Didn’t Make CPTP2 was born. Read the rest of this entry »

ABN’s fearless leader’s original version of “I’m On” played out like a blockbuster remix and it seemed like it was already at its apex with star power. Shame on anyone doubting the extent of Trae Tha Truth’s connections in this industry for the “2.0″ upgrade pits the hungriest of today’s rabid rappers together as they try to make their mark with just eight bars to spare.
