New Music: Supreme Remix (Rick Ross feat. Big K.R.I.T, Mase, and Fabolous)
Rick Ross took a break from promoting his Mastermind album, but i guess he is back at it again. He just dropped the remix to his Supreme song (the video to the original song was released last week), which features Big K.R.I.T, Mase, and Fabolous. Ross has a new verse on this song, and Lil Wayne did a lil skit at the beginning and end of the 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.
"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."

Third Week Sales of Big K.R.I.T's Live From The Underground Album
Second Week Sales of Big K.R.I.T's Live From The Underground Album
Big K.R.I.T's Live From The Underground album sold 12,000 copies in its second week in stores, and is now at a total of 53,000 copies after two week in stores.
First Week Sales Projections of Big K.R.I.T's Live from the Underground
Live from the Underground, the album from Big K.R..I.T is projected to sell between 40-45k copies in its first week in stores. The album dropped 2 days ago: July 5th. This projection are according to first day sales calculation by hitsdailydouble.com. They have been doing this for a while now, and are always on point. Personal, I predicted it would sell between 60-90k first week, plus or minus. So, i am not too far from the truth.Curren$y's album, The Stoned Immaculate is also projected to sell around the same range. You can read more below-
Warner Bros. rapper Curren$y's The Stoned Immaculate, featuring Wiz Khalifa, Wale, 2 Chainz and Big K.R.I.T., remarkably, his eighth album since 2009, is on target for 40-45k, the same amount for Def Jam/IDJ hip-hop artist Big K.R.I.T.'s highly anticipated debut, Live from the Underground.

First Week Sales Prediction of Big K.R.I.T's Live From The Underground
Three singles have been dropped from Big K.R.I.T's album, Live From The Underground, and they have enjoyed their fair share of radio airplay. Watching his career, and the type of people he appeals to, he is not the type to do it big with singles; he is the type to do it big with actual full length album. He is one of the few upcoming rappers from the south that i can actually take time to listen to. I would predict it would sell between 60-90k.In recent times, there are few rappers that crack that 200k mark, and this is going to be Big K.R.I.T's first album out, so people would still be skeptical about getting it. But, the core fan-base he has built over the years would definitely go out and support him. I think if he sells 70k first week, it would be cool. He can then build on it. By the way, the album drops next week, June 5th.
