When you drop a classic (or a work of art), fans and detractors alike await your next moves like a hawk. For Big K.R.I.T., after 4Eva is a Mighty Long Time, we saw a quiet period then spurts of work. It almost felt like he was reminding us that he was around because, well, forever is […]
Read morePA Vol 64: Logic is Runny Toothpaste but K.R.I.T. HERE
Drizzle, Speed, and Gingawd talk Logic and Big K.R.I.T., two artists who–while they arose around the same time–are on different spectrums at this point. Let’s discuss. Drizzle: So, there’s new K.R.I.T. and all is right in the world. Speed: Oh yeah. Album drops on 7/12! Drizzle: Also, Tee Grizzly’s album goes to for no real reason […]
Read moreSOTBMusic: "The Vent" is Big K.R.I.T.’s Best Song (To Me)
Since being introduced to Big K.R.I.T. through “Country Shit,” I’ve been a fan. A huge fan. K.R.I.T. is one of the few artists who I always buy their latest work. I have his entire discography on my phone, through several music platforms (except All My Life, because just…no). If that makes me a stan, I […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Big K.R.I.T. Returns with THRICE X
I don’t know about you, but I just love when my favorites come through with beautiful soul food a week out from Thanksgiving. Big K.R.I.T. returns to his solo tip after taking some time to drop a few guest verses and push 4Eva Is A Mighty Long Time with the three-song-deep EP THRICE X, which feels […]
Read morePA Vol. 48: Who Makes @DrizzleSez’s Underrated Artists List (And Speed Stans for Alessia Cara)
As we know by now, SpeedontheBeat.com is home for underrated/under-appreciated art. Sure, we cover the mainstream, but musically, I’ve made my name by covering artists people haven’t heard of as often and helping to bring their message to my readership and those who appreciate tasty jams. Because of this, I asked Drizzle Sez to provide me […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @LupeFiasco – DROGAS Light
I told you yesterday that I’m not doing a real review for DROGAS Light. Just go buy the album or stream it. Either way, you need this album in your lives. It’s like Lupe took the concept of “Dumb It Down,” added in some TPAB-like messages and imagery, mixed in some trap sensibilities, got “lit […]
Read moreSpeed’s Production Corner: Some of My Favorite @BigKRIT Instrumentals
It’s no secret that I’m a huge Big K.R.I.T. fan. Since SpeedontheBeat.com became a thing in 2012, I feel that Krizzle has always been one of my most-covered artists, outside of myself. I still have the autographed copy of R4 that Drizzle Sez got me back in 2011, before K.R.I.T. became as noticed as he’s […]
