In 2011, Big K.R.I.T was my favourite new rapper to break out of the underground scene into the mainstream. With some of the best mixtapes in the game for 2 years straight, the Mississippi native released his debut album through Def Jam Records. After waiting two years for his debut, I was very disappointed at the little support he got from his label...

It's funny how the smart ones have more questions than answers. "I apologize for what I didn't know," confesses Big K.R.I.T. on the sort-of self-titled (the acronym K.R.I.T. expanded), yet another worthy addition to his disparate collection of trunk-rattlers and thoughtful blues. The Mississippi artist is hot off batting cleanup on A$ap Rocky's "1 Train," clinching the best verse on the year's preeminent posse cut, but those familiar with K.R.I.T...

Return of 4Eva was a new-school, rearview-checking masterpiece of Dixie rap, but that 2011 mixtape remains the pinnacle of Big K.R.I.T.'s young career. That's not to say the Mississippi native hasn't turned out some major highs over the past couple years: his "Money on the Floor", Freddie Gibbs's "Rob Me a Nigga" and T.I.'s "I'm Flexin'" are just three examples of why K.R.I.T.'s been one of the most vital young forces in rap both on the mic and as a producer...

DJBooth favorite Big K.R.I.T. has released his latest free mixtape album, King Remembered In Time. The pseudo self-titled project is the fourth free LP-like release from the Mississippi native in the last three years, not including his formal debut album, Live from the Underground, which Def Jam released last June.
The 17-track K.R.I.T. includes previously-released singles "Shine On" and "R.E...

Chamillionaire once said "My fanbase is a cult" and there was evidence ofthat all around the internet. Message boards were dominated by stickiedthreads, people had Color Changin Click lizard-shaped haircuts and someeven dared to get tattoos. It's been a good eight or nine years since thenand now there are plenty more rappers with cult-like followings, Meridian,Mississippi's Big K.R.I.T. is among them...

I approached Live from the Underground of the opinion that Big K.R.I.T. is the most exciting hip-hop artist to emerge in the last few years. A big statement, yes, but one based purely on the quality of his output thus far...

"When it's all said and done, they gon' see me on top With a deal and a mill, 24's on a drop Street boys imma get it, I'm the K-R-I-T The bottom of the game ain't a place for a G"Reading those lines from 2005 now almost seems prophetic, but that was the attitude that Big K.R.I.T. has always seemed to inject into his music. Most of the world, self included, didn't really take notice of him until 2010's "K.R.I.T. Wuz Here," but Krizzle was doing his thing way before then. Years prior, K.R.I.T...

No point dancing around it: Yes, Big K.R.I.T. sells out on Live From the Underground. It was unavoidable: No rapper goes into the Def Jam sausage factory and emerges without a 2 Chainz feature on a song about strippers. Yes, there are songs here that never would have made his two superlative mixtapes (K.R.I.T. Wuz Here and Return of 4Eva), or even that one he put out earlier this year that was a snooze (4Eva N A Day)...

Big K.R.I.T. is an up-and-coming rapper from Mississippi. He's built up anticipation for his debut with his soulful social commentary and slick Southern rhymes on several mixtapes, including "Return of 4Eva." Unfortunately, Big K.R.I.T. -- whose initials stand for King Remembered In Time -- falls short on his first album, "Live from the Underground." The rapper produced all 16 tracks, but the collection of songs doesn't measure up to his previous mixtape efforts...
