Big K.R.I.T - Hometown Hero (Remix)
Artist: Big K.R.I.T
Featuring: Yelawolf
Producer: Big K.R.I.T.
Album: Country Cu$$inz
Label: Cinematic Music Group/Def Jam
When we look back at the year that was 2010 and start compiling the mixtapes of the year list, Big K.R.I.T.’s breakthrough project KRIT Wuz Here will undoubtedly be on it. The distinctly southern yet universally dope project helped land K.R.I.T. a deal with Def Jam, and it was tracks like Hometown Hero that gave the project character. Not content with near-perfection, today Krizza takes another shot at Hometown Hero with a remix to that standout track. The original’s haunting production, courtesy of K.R.I.T. himself, remains intact, right down to the Friday Night Lights sample, and K.R.I.T.’s verses remain untouched. Instead, it’s the addition of another Southern fast-riser, Yelawolf, that gives the cut its newness. True to form, Yela drops an atypically subdued but still quick verse that reps hard for the rarely repped Gadsen, Alabama: “Some people leave it, they ball till they fall flat, I just want to bring it home, and give it all back.” Hometown heroes indeed. Unless you’ve got a serious case of ADD and can’t listen to tracks over 3 minutes, it’s hard to see how the remix isn’t an improvement on the original.

So let me get this straight. Two of our favorite Booth newcomers connect for a remix record and are planning a collaborative mixtape, too? Lucky us.

The original was great. But Yelawolf's verse takes the song to another level.

The original song is very good, but the addition of Yela makes this a straight banger in my opinion.

Love this, it's strange that he uses a snippet from Adele's - home town. I'm feeling it for sure.

One of my favorite tracks of the year, this is the song that totally sold me on KRIT. And adding Yela to the mix just pushes things to the next level. This is the definition of dope creativity.
And Friday Night Lights is the best football movie of all time. I will slap anyone who suggests otherwise.

I can't but think that his is the watered down version of the original track, production wise. Although both artists def. bring everything they lyrically have to the track, I can't help but wish they went in another direction with the production.

Everything was really on point with this. The Adele sample was the perfect addition to the beat. Already a Yela fan, but if this is what BIG K.R.I.T. has to offer, than I'm definitely buying.
