Editor's note

Big K.R.I.T., the Mississippi rapper and producer

A Southern hip-hop voice who builds his catalog close to the roots.

For a quick sense of his style, try 'Time Machine' or 'The Vent'. They frame his sound plainly.

He came up listening to UGK and OutKast, and that influence shows in his music. His mixtape 'K.R.I.T. Wuz Here' got attention in 2009 with its soulful production and lyrics grounded in Southern life. Songs like 'Time Machine' and 'The Vent' reflect that perspective without much fuss.

After signing with Def Jam and releasing 'Live from the Underground' in 2011, he left the label in 2013 to start his own, Multi Alumni. He's kept releasing music independently, including the album '4eva Is a Mighty Long Time' in 2017.

Archive material and source history

Big K.R.I.T. is Justin Scott from Meridian, Mississippi, born in 1986. He came up listening to Southern hip-hop like UGK and OutKast, and that influence shows in his music. In 2009, his mixtape 'K.R.I.T. Wuz Here' got people's attention with its mix of soulful production and lyrics grounded in Southern life.

He signed with Def Jam and put out his first album, 'Live from the Underground,' in 2011. That record had 'Free My Soul,' a track that became one of his most recognizable songs. After leaving Def Jam in 2013, he started his own label, Multi Alumni, and kept releasing music independently, including albums like '4eva Is a Mighty Long Time' in 2017.

His work often touches on where he's from, with songs like 'Rise And Shine' and 'Happy Birthday Hip-Hop' reflecting that perspective. He's collaborated with artists like Wiz Khalifa and T.I., but mostly operates as a solo act, building a catalog that stays close to his roots without much fuss.
