| After the Hype: The Mid-Career Evolution of Big K.R.I.T. | October 29, 2015 |
The Mississippi rapper comes to LA on Nov. 17 at the Regent, with BJ The Chicago Kid, Scotty ATL, and Delorean.
| To the Top Floor: Big K.R.I.T. “See Me On Top 4” | October 10, 2014 |
Dean Van Nguyen is the son of the Son of Chico Dusty When Big K.R.I.T. was putting out music at a prolific rate a couple years back– including at his nominal mixtapes in K.R.I.T. Wuz Here and 4eva N a Day – I was convinced a seat at rap’s head table was waiting. A self-producing machine in the vein […]
| Trappin’ & Snappin’: Big K.R.I.T. On Olympus | April 29, 2014 |
In which Big K.R.I.T snaps figuratively and lyrically. Fed up with the charades that comprise being a major label Southern rapper struggling to re-make “Soul Food” for the 21st Century. You can make country rap anthems all day long and still never see radio. It’s the permanent war between music that you can ride to […]
| Week of K.R.I.T.: Big K.R.I.T’s Conscious Effort | March 13, 2014 |
Dan Adu-Gyamfi is just rotating his tires. Last week, to promote his forthcoming album Cadillactica, Big K.R.I.T. released a new song every day to a different website. It culminated with a documentary about being on Macklemore’s tour and a trailer for the album, which is supposed to drop in the fall. Over the earlier years […]
| MobbDeen: Big K.R.I.T’s “King Remembered In Time” | April 12, 2013 |
Deen scoffs at your slander. I’m fairly certain that this means that I’m an ungrateful shit, but I’m wondering why the fuck Big KRIT still feels the need to hand out free music in 2013. I get the whole industry mindset nowadays, but KRIT has more than paid his dues. So much that his retail […]
With Deen on-board, Passion of the Weiss will stomp out Richard E. Gordon for Best Webmaster. Decent humans would call these “honorable mentions.” But I’m neither human nor decent. I don’t believe in labels – when applied to me, myself, I and personally. They definitely work for everybody and everything else though. Not that I […]
| MobbDeen: Big Sant Steps Out from Big K.R.I.T’s Shadow | October 17, 2012 |
Deen is trying to turn this into something. DM him (binder women only) It’s taken long enough, but we finally have a new project from Big KRIT’s right hand man, Big Sant. I suppose that’s more than we can say for scores of weed carriers too numerous to mention in this space (shouts to Spliff […]
| Juicy J, Responsible Lifestyle Advocate | June 27, 2012 |
Juicy J is the only man who can make 2Chainz seem like Mitt Romney. 37 is the new 20. No one can advocate the complete absence of any responsibility quite like Jordan Houston. He is the Michael Jordan of both kinds of rap: ignorant and satanic. Still awesome against all odds. People bitch that they […]
| Big K.R.I.T. Maybe Actually Finally Has This | March 28, 2012 |
Tosten Burks is getting money he can fold very easily. Live From The Underground is officially in sight. The first single, “I Got This,” is exactly what K.R.I.T. needs to get the album released already, an anthemic banger. It comes just in time too, when hope was slowly draining that he had a song like […]
| David Banner and Big K.R.I.T. are Believers | March 26, 2012 |
Evan Nabavian sampled Three Dog Night in his last job application. Awkwardly co-opted cheeseball hooks hit their crescendo when J.R. Writer sampled “Oh Ho Ho It’s Magic” and Juelz Santana had the neighbhorhood kids flip the Hess Truck theme into a crack jingle. Both hallmarks of the Dips’ legacy, for sure. The hook on David […]
