Says Fader:
“Big KRIT hails from Mississippi, a locale he says informs all new music he makes as he travels America. We met the man in New York, where he performed at the grand finale uncapped LIVE show. Even as Big KRIT aspires to bigger projects across genres, the rapper/producer asserts, “It’s still gone be country, still gone be soulful.”

40 Profile By The Fader
If you want a laugh, pull up the music video for Drake’s “Replacement Girl.” It’s 2007. The Toronto rapper is wearing a leather baseball cap, backwards, with enormous designer sunglasses and his necktie above the belly button—not unlike how Fred Flintstone does his. He double-time raps in front of a crudely drawn world map while women of various tint and confusion dance close by; at the video’s climax, Drake leans on the hood of an expensive car the director rented for the shoot. It’s not a bad R&B-cum-rap song. And the video went on to play on BET, a first for an unsigned Canadian rapper. But this Drake was, to put it kindly, not the cool, introspective, self-deprecating one we now know.

Big Boi Vs. Matt and Kim – CameraBuggin
Big Boi Teams With FADER Label artists Matt and Kim To Create Mash-Up. Not mad at this considering I like both acts. I like The Fader but SMH – they uploaded it to Soundcloud, but they won’t even allow me to embed the track on my site, much less download it. If you want, you can listen below:
