I think a lot of that came from fatigue and I have been so comfortable with producing for myself. Being able to work with someone confident enough to tell me the verse I laid down was okay, but can come at this from a different angle. I was able to get out of my comfort zone, working with other producers and a dope engineer. RESPECT.: Can you take us through the creation of 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time? So, this project presented the opportunity for me to be as vulnerable as I wanted to on one album…at the same time, be confident with lyrical prowess sequence issue. Even from a musical standpoint, the music that I like to listen to at home might not be the same as when I am about to perform at a concert. I wanted to be able to express both sides with this project. For example, you might be dealing with anxiety and insecurities. While at work you might be a very confident individual and while you are at home, it can be the total opposite. I touch on this topic on “4eva In a Day.” In a sense, you are conflicted about current events in life with work and your living at home. I think it was necessary for me, as a human being and an artist. RESPECT.: Why did you decide to give the fans a double album? It’s something that I will never be able to live up to as an artist, but it allows me to keep grinding and not get complacent. , I thank God I was able to come up with the acronym King Remembered In Time. So, I decided to shorten it and called myself Krit. When I would perform at open mics in the early 2000s, people had difficulty pronouncing my name and understanding it. So, that is the idea of the beginning of your rap name.

Wow… you think about southern music like Lil, Big, Slim, Young. RESPECT.: Why did you decide to use the name Big K.R.I.T.? Just don’t put sheet music in front of me - I will fail horribly.
#WHATS THE NAME OF BIG KRIT NEW ALBUM HOW TO#
As far as reading music, please do not expect for me to do it now, but I do plan on learning how to play the piano. I guess the tuba and base so vital to me because you are the backbone of the band for the most part. I do think that it did help me know how to play chords and understand crescendo. When I was younger, I think to be able to read music helped me out tremendously, but seeing that I am not actively playing an instrument, I am not as seasoned - I am more of this ‘feels and sounds right’ type of person.

RESPECT.: Being that you can read music, how has that helped you as an artist? I started playing the cello in elementary up until junior high school and decided not to play anymore. Did you have any prior training as part of your high school band or things of that nature? RESPECT.: You started writing and making music in 1999. In addition to breaking down the album, writer Landon Buford got a chance to take things back to the essence of the virtuoso’s artistic genesis: you can consider this our true re-introduction to Big K.R.I.T. was more than honored to chop it up with the Meridian emcee-producer during the promotional run for his latest offering, 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time, a sonically-breathtaking look into the aforementioned two sides of K.R.I.T. Either way, both deliver words best described as time-stopping and life-changing, further stamping his near-flawless legacy in music. possesses, there are two that he’s probably most known for: the hard-hitting, pimp-esque blend that oozes swagger from the crevices of a Roland TR-808, and Justin Scott, the man bringing the introspective, the vulnerable and - for all intents and purposes - the higher-conscious.

The truth is, out of the many styles that K.R.I.T. Wuz Here to the how-the-f***-is-this-so-slept-on Cadillactica - are just as solid if not better than chart-topping projects from the peers who are compelled to salute him as the genius that he is. to icon status - from the classic K.R.I.T. The many mixtapes and albums that propelled K.R.I.T. The self-proclaimed ‘King Remembered In Time’ has been producing some of the best - no, the best country Rap tunes this side of Pimp C and André 3000. One artist that deserves to be included in this conversation: Mississippi mastermind Big K.R.I.T. Now, those very legends have helped not only to put a permanent spotlight on the South, but also to affix themselves as Rap’s current crown bearers. In terms of talent, artists below the Mason-Dixon line certainly had it and more regardless, it seems as if the Southern Rap gods had to fight tooth and nail for genuine respect in ‘the game’ that New York City birthed. In regards to reputation in Hip-Hop, the South has certainly come a long way.
