Big K.R.I.T - American Rapstar
Artist: Big K.R.I.T
Producer: Big K.R.I.T.
Album: Return of 4Eva
Label: Cinematic Music Group/Def Jam
With a forthcoming street album dropping a week from now, Big K.R.I.T. treats his fans to another single entitled American Rapstar, from the upcoming LP Return of 4Eva. Once again, Krit offers a promising preview that ensures that this album will be on the same level as his highly praised first street album K.R.I.T. Wuz Here. Producing the song himself, Krizza shows why he is such a renaissance man by laying down a smooth beat over a Marvin Gaye sample. (Cool points if you can tell me the song). Vocally the Miss. native starts the song on the narrative tip, telling the story of, obviously, an American hip-hop artist, in the process examining not only the artists who give everything in pursuit of fame, but the fans who either grant them that fame, or take it away. Giving listeners not just a song but an experience is what separates K.R.I.T. from all the other upcoming rappers. Return of 4Eva drops next Tuesday, March 22, and if this is any indication of the other records, then you can bet the external hard drive will be ready to go!

I heard this track on his site earlier, and I thought it was a solid track to feature for his upcoming album.

There are arguably 5 current American rapstars: Eminem, Jay Z, Kanye West, 50 Cent and Diddy (yes, Diddy). Names, out of the United States, that everyone knows no matter what country you are in. I am not sure K.R.I.T. will ever get to that level himself, but with records like this he deserves to be in the conversation for one of the brightest potential stars in the game.

it must a joke that a little favoritism keeps Lil' Wayne from being considered a "rap superstar" but 50 cent and diddy are...hmmmmm

@Jor-El i agree that you could put weezy on the list but diddy and 50 shouldnt be considered i mean 50 was hiphop through the first half of the last decade. As for the track is pretty solid excited for the next project since i liked K.R.I.T. wuz here

This is nice by K.R.I.T. but so far I had not heard those tracks that made K.R.I.T. wuz Here so hot. Like Moon & Stars and Country Sh*t.

Yes sir. It's a breath of fresh air hearing the real thing from an artist for the first time. 4.5 stars
If the rest of the album holds up to this song, I'm buying the album and spreading the word. If not, I'm moving on. :) |
