It seems our favorite country cousin Big K.R.I.T. is back at it again with his latest offering “4Eva N a Day” The free-tape is a carefully, crafted conceptual album in which listeners are taken on an incredible journey through a day in the life of the Mississippi native. The 17 track project features the relatively familiar soul-wrenching, 808-knocking, and melodic production we’ve seen from KRIT thus far with 2010’s “Return Of 4Eva” and his breakout release “Krit Wuz Here” “4Eva N a Day” doesn’t stray far from the previous; providing raw, honest and introspective lyrics accompanied by a grimacing, rhythmic flow over top notch production.
The first track ‘Wake Up” begins a deep, bluesy episode of tracks like “Yesterday” “Boobie Miles” and “4EvaNaDay (Theme)” that set a hypnotic, mellow soundscape of clarity and precision for Krit to paint pictures over. Taking us with him every step of the way, the trunk happy “Me and My Old School” “Country Rap Tunes” and “1986” provide hysterical down south anthems as we go riding with him. Krit excels in laying hooks and instrumentations appropriately for every song with the groovy “Insomnia” and candid “Temptation” displaying the new-age southern playalistic influence. At times he is a revealing character dealing with not only his problems, but with those of the world as well “Down & Out” “Package Store” and “Red Eye” provide insight on relationships, women, the community and motives with haunting bars of remorse and harsh truthfulness over sleek arrangements.
The honesty and reflection of the verses shown on “Handwriting” and “The Alarm” are standouts which take us deeper into the trials of the southern emcee. The tape showcases flawless transitions in the songs but also in the overall feel, as the dialogue excerpts and musical development enhance the mood, without “dumbing down” or lacking content. With yet another captivating release draped in soothing production, crooning hooks, and profound lyricism KRIT allows raw emotion and realism to flourish in the moment with every angle shown precisely. From family to preachers to strippers, it seems he observes and pens diary-like intricacy with his accounts of people in the world. An exceptional talent, Big KRIT reminds us all again why Hip-Hop’s light is shining so brightly this new era of artist.
