“Since our last interview of Big K.R.I.T. (which was before he signed with Def Jam) he has been able to perfect a sound that has been somewhat missing in hip hop and was also recognized by one of hip hop most prominent magazines by being named a XXL Freshmen for 2011. In taking the reigns of Southern Hip Hop from groups like Eightball & MJG as well as UGK, K.R.I.T. has been the torchbearer for the underground hip hop from the South. Now on tour in which he is the headliner, K.R.I.T. has easily transitioned into the star that we thought he could be last year. In this interview we catch with him at AKIN Chicago South, where we speak to him about working on his new album, Return of 4Eva, the comparisons to Pimp C, getting an encore call in Houston with Bun B, the HBCU bands he would love to work with and more.” (Via WIMH)
