Kirs Artist Spotlight: Big K.R.I.T

"Could of bought my way to heaven, but I blow it on my neck."

This rapper/producer has given music the breath of fresh air that southern hip hop and just hip hop in general needed. There are so many talented artists in the world who seriously say some dope off the chart stuff that just makes you go "hmmmm".

When I saw the ending of his video for the song, Children of the World, and heard his last few bars I was like I have got to find out who this dude is. Mind you, I had no name to go on...I just knew he was from MS, because he mentioned it in the song. So I hopped on my favorite search engine, Google, typed in "Rapper from Mississippi" and saw his picture off to the side.

Eureka! I found him!

His style is something like a mixture of UGK, Talib Kweli, Andre 3000, with a southern country raw twang. Just refreshing.

Turns out he has recently signed to Def Jam...yeah I see big things happening for him in the future. He's going to be a force to be reckoned with in this music game.

Mark my words.
Peep the two of his songs below!
