Hometown Hero: The Best Of Big K.R.I.T. Mixtape
The big homie Justin over at Kevinnottingham.com send me this compilation he put together highlighting the best of Mississippi artist & Def Jam signee Big K.R.I.T.. Honestly I’ve never been that familiar with Big K.R.I.T.‘s entire catalog although there have been a few songs here & there that I managed to catch that I thought were cool & some I’ve even played on my radio show like the ‘Hold You Down’ remix he appeared on with Laws & Emilio Rojas. I also dug the ‘Can’t Be All’ joint inspired by Outkast’s earlier sound. I know Big K.R.I.T. had a lot of buzz prior to signing with Def Jam so this compilation Justin put together should be quite helpful. Admittedly this will help me get up to speed & really dig into what the buzz is really about.  I’ll willingly take a late pass on a good artist then fake the funk on something that was manufactured hype.  The complete tracklisting for the compilation is under the hood. So if your in the same boat as me with trying to catch up then go ahead check it out for yourself & leave your opinions in the comment section…..
