Big K.R.I.T - Happy Birthday Hip Hop
Featuring: Yelawolf
Producer: Big K.R.I.T.
Album: Last King 2: God's Machine
Label: Cinematic Music Group/Def Jam
They say good things come to those who wait, and while I don’t know who “they” are, and “they” are usually wrong, when it comes to Big K.R.I.T. time might just be on his side. We haven’t heard much from Krizza since his heralded Return of 4EVA project dropped, but today a new collaborative release with Yelawolf that was a year in the making has finally surfaced. Get out the streamers, light some candles, it’s time to say Happy Birthday Hip-Hop. The soul-soaked production here is, of course, handled by the Mississippi native himself – if I had a candy-painted slab, this would be the beat I’d be riding to for the rest of the week. (That’s a big if.) Lyrically both Yela and KRIT deliver nicely, grabbing the mic to both look back at the origins of their hip-hop love affair - word to Souls of Mischief - and promising fans that they’ll never stray from their true hip-hop roots. Forgot to buy hip-hop a present? Don’t worry, you’ve still got time. Last King 2: God’s Machine, presented by DJ Wally Sparks (Big K.R.I.T.‘s official DJ) and DJ Breakem Off, drops August 18.

I mean, can you go wrong with K.R.I.T and Yela together on the same song? To answer that rhetorical question, no - no you cannot. I hope there is more of this to come on their "we started recording, but have since stopped" Country Cousins mixtape.

Hmmm...Let me think, Yelawolf and Big K.R.I.T. over a K.R.I.T. production....Hmmmm....I cant see how this would be anything less than 4 stars. I clicked play and my point has been proven.

Big K.R.I.T. and Yelawolf are my two favorite up-and-coming artists in the game right now. This is my second time hearing them together on a track and it was well worth it.

I remember hearing Kickin' by Yelawolf way back in the day. He has come along way and hasn't lost a step. He hasn't changed his style at all. This is really the first Big K.R.I.T. song I've heard but I dig it.
