"K.R.I.T. Wuz Here was my favorite mixtape in the sense of my hunger, because it was like, 'This is either going to work or we’re going back home. And that’s why it had so many songs on it, so many different sounds. It had a West Coast feel, the 93 ’til Infinity chop in it with me and Curren$y, and it was all that only for a project. I would say Return of 4Eva was musically my favorite one based off of how I sampled, what I sampled, the amount of singing, and the subject matter, from 'Free My Soul' to 'Another Naive Individual Glorifying Greed and Encouraging Racism. 4EvaNaDay was my most scientific one. I was very proud of that project, because I was able to not stay in the typical lane of making music, but to actually try to make a storybook in itself. And, make every song go together, from what time of day you should play it and how that time of day feels in the warmth of the music and the color hues, and even how I’m rapping and what I’m rapping about. Live From The Underground is a milestone forever because it’s my first album and I produced it all, man. So I could never downplay that. It has its own position in my career because it definitely did a lot more numbers than people expected it to do, and it gave people what I told them I was going to do, which was never leave the underground, and rap about what I want to rap about. 'I’ll feature the people I want to feature,' and that’s what I did. People may not have expected what it was compared to my mixtapes and [may not] feel it lived up to them, but me knowing what I went through to put it out, and then some of the songs on there. Like, the record with B.B. King will stand the test of time. King Remembered In Time is its own entity. That’s me coming back from the album and tour like, 'Hey, let’s do this.' And now we here, man. And with Cadillactica, it’s going to be its own monster. And I think people are going to be able to tell with every song."Big K.R.I.T Reflects on All His Projects
Up until I read this interview of Big K.R.I.T, i never knew he had put out so much work. Of cos he has just one album out (and is about to drop another), but he sure has a nice catalog of mixtapes. In his recent interview with NahRight, the Mississippi rapper reflects on all the projects (album and mixtapes) he has put out, and speaks on why each one is special in its on way.
