On Saturday, August 27th, J Carter (FAMU Alum) & The Sol-Fusion Family hosted the 2nd annual ONE Music Fest in Atlanta, GA. A little different from last year, as this event was at Park Tavern, a restaurant and event space adjacent to Peidmont Park. The performances included Atlanta’s own Anthony David, The Foreign Exchange, The Cool Kids, The Pharcyde and Chrisette Michelle. Holding down the Master of Ceremonies job and keeping the party going through the intermissions was Dres the Beatnik along with Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest.

The vibe was cool and the music was great; I can’t wait until next year.

[New Music] Big K.R.I.T "Exhibit K"

admin — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 20:13:18 +0000

Whoever said “Hip Hop is Dead” obliviously hasn’t heard the spoken words of the 22 year old fresh out of Mississippi’s womb, a constant movement of innovative beats and hypnotizing lyrics that keeps your ears fiendin’ for the next track. Meridian, MS native Big K.R.I.T. has done more than established his place in the game, he’s letting all MCs “overstand” that fact that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. K.R.I.T. is young enough to be ahead of his time and old enough to be just in time to resuscitate the corpse of hip hop. Quoting the young talent “you like me shawty, I like me too” gives the young Krizzle the confidence to place hip hop on his back and demand the attention of his predecessors. See Me on Top III has hit the streets and A&Rs are listening…underground artists are trying to step up…

He is ahead of the movement. Early in age, K.R.I.T. discovered his musical inclination. At the ripe age of twelve, Young Krizzle followed in the steps of the late Tupac Shakur writing poems and turning them into raps. He then began free-styling in the hallways of Kate Griffin Jr. High School perfecting his craft. At the tender age of fourteen, he began producing and arranging music for local artists. Soon after he began producing and writing his own music, with the finesse of a veteran. Immersing himself in the talents of the late greats: Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur and the southern influences of Andre 3000 and Cee-lo Goodie; Big K.R.I.T. has developed himself into a living legend that’s unknown to the popular circuit but adorned by the true underground hip hop heads. His soul is young but his roots are deeply planted in southern soil growing up to the sounds of Willie Hutch, Bobby Womack and the Manhattans, whose music has sincerely influenced his works.

Since 2005, he has dropped four mix tapes: See Me on Top I, II featuring DJ Folk, III featuring DJ Infamous and Hood Fame with DJ Wally Sparks: King of the Queen. He signed himself to his label Multi Records, manages his own production, creates and sells his own beats. He’s worked with established DJs in the industry without dropping a cent, such as DJ Folk, DJ O.K. out of Oklahoma, Black Bill Gates, Big Mike out of NYC, DJ Chuck T, Chief Rocka, DJ Papa Smirf, DJ Certified Kingpin, Governor Kush: Live From MLK, DJ Break ‘Em Off, DJ Sweat, DJ MLK, Bigga Rankins…and the list goes on. He’s been featured on tracks with Donnie Cross, Collective Efforts and Mike Hartnett. He’s produced tracks for many established artists such as Max Minelli, Ya Boy, Cheeto Gamine, Alfa Mega from Grand Hustle and Big Floaty.

The young talent also has accumulated/developed a catalog of unsurpassed sounds and lyrics calmly waiting to take the rap game by storm. Big K.R.I.T. has consistently presented his scope and depth as he eagerly waits at mainstream’s door…knocking…no, banging to be let in. Who’s going to open the door?
