I think it’s safe to say that today is a K.R.I.T. day. After appearing on the remix of Dee-1’s “Against Us,” we’re blessed (pun intended) with another K.R.I.T. collabo. The Cap 1-manned track features Cap and K.R.I.T. waxing over some soulful production about, well, needing religion and blessings in the face of insanity.
Read moreNew Music: @BigKRIT – So Bad
Big K.R.I.T has a habit of dropping music when no one expects it and instantaneously makes listeners want more (as a disclaimer, I am a pretty big K.R.I.T fan. So, for me, whenever I get some new Krizzle, I tell all the world and wait with bated breath for the new album/mixtape). Fanboyisms aside, this […]

Potential fanboyism aside, this week’s It’s Better This Way is the perfect mix of smooth Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (even […]
Read more@raury x @BigKRIT – "Forbidden Knowledge"
I’ll let it be known: I’m not the biggest Raury fan. I think he’s talented, and I enjoy his music. However, at times, his knowledge gets lost amidst awkward production choices, songs that are good, but seem like they’re trying too hard to be folky and abstract, or over-wordiness. On his newest leak, “Forbidden Knowledge,” […]
