after a lot of promotional consideration, a couple of excellent drop offs and some much-deserved hype, the next big thing out of chicago has released his anticipated mixtape, and his proper follow-up to last year’s 10 day.
expect huge things this year from one of rap’s budding talents.

today is a great day, because we’re getting a new release from big k.r.i.t. and if you know the guy, you know that his “mixtape” releases are better than most rappers’ albums, so it’s damn near criminal that you’re getting dude’s shit for free. now that i’ve talked up this release without hearing it, here’s to hoping i don’t have to eat my words.
but let’s be honest, that probably won’t happen.

i introduced internet friend/troll’s project, vacancy, not too long back. rather impressive is the fact that his debut mixtape only took a few months to put together, and now he’s offering up a free download of the project via bandcamp. and “mixtape” is correct here, with a handful of both original beats (by friends and colleagues) and borrowed beats (kanye west, drake) and a whole lot of sadness, being white, etc. download it via bandcamp via ‘pay what you want.’
