We’ll keep it all the way 100 with you, TSS Family. Reviewing albums this year has been bit of a chore because rappers these days only care about first week numbers instead of managing the number of the tracks on their albums. Notice how half of the industry’s 3rd quarter releases magically got delayed in time to catch the holiday buyer’s eye, no matter the cost? However, that’s another story for another day.

“Wrote a rhyme that was kind with some vision to it, Bottom line, it might expand your mind if you listen to it.”

“The Vent” remains as a track that secludes Big K.R.I.T. from his peers, minus a few. Read the rest of this entry »

Sit back, grab a sweet iced tea and let the Southern triumvirate of Luda, Bun and youngest in charge, K.R.I.T., explain the finer points of what makes living below the Mason-Dixon the best thing going. Read the rest of this entry »

At first I was confused as to why K.R.I.T. was dropping R4: The Prequel at all. Essentially, just four songs from an album that didn’t need to be shrunk and a six-month-old remix, this mini-listen is almost completely unnecessary for any of his legitimate fans. Then again, maybe that’s not who it’s intended for. Read the rest of this entry »

Looks like K.R.I.T. snagged Bun and Luda to do a video for the “Country Shit” remix, bringing both gentleman to his hometown of Meridian, MS for the shoot. Three distinct generations of Southern rap all together for one track. The visual was shot by Motion Family and should be dropping soon. Read the rest of this entry »

On “Premeditated Murder,” J. Cole has a line that sticks out and rings true: “Keep grindin’ boy, your life can change in one year.” We tell ourselves the same sort of thing before walking through the doors of the job we hate, or the class that separates us from the degree we desire or even the obstacles in the way of our own mentally constructed dreams. The logic especially applies to Big K.R.I.T. Read the rest of this entry »

Big K.R.I.T. releases the Motion Family-produced visuals for his record “Dreamin,” off his new project Returnof4eva which drops for free download on March 28th. The clip is quite fitting considering the song’s title and words alongside K.R.I.T.’s portrayal as a janitor Read the rest of this entry »

“This ain’t just a car, this my time machine…”

No irony should be lost on “Time Machine,” the latest offering off K.R.I.T.’s Return of 4eva, especially since the Mississippi brother has proven himself to be a throwback time and time again. While creating music for the now, he still manages to revert to the time when artists dabbled in duality, allowed to be cocky yet conscious and completely cognizant of their minute place in the big scheme of things. In the early ’90s though, K.R.I.T. would have probably been relegated to being a regional phenomenon so thank God for the technological advances which allow his Southern mellow music to transverse the country at a faster clip.

The vulnerable side of me believes everyone has a dream, or a goal rather. However, the more I socialize amongst fellow 9-to-5ers and see how content certain people are with the average, that presumption seems more of a wish than reality. Knocked down and never again awakened, these routine people see your aspirations of breaking that cycle of mediocrity as unrealistic and are the same desensitized citizens Big K.R.I.T. decided to dedicate the first single off Returnof4eva to.

In the midst of the longest recorded blunt cruise in history, Big K.R.I.T.’s been poking his head out of the Waken Baken Tour’s hazy cloud to whet the listener’s appetite with new material. However, don’t think that the recent sightings of the Mississippi MC are enigmas-Return of 4eva, K.R.I.T.’s follow-up project to K.R.I.T. Wuz Here, might arrive as soon as next month…and for free.
