You may be asking yourself, “Who is Big K.R.I.T.?” If so, get a late pass, bro. He’s the newest cat on the block/blogs, and rightfully so. The Def Jam signee recently released his ‘K.R.I.T Wuz Here’ mixtape and received accolades across the board.

The MC/producer from Mississippi has been in NYC killing shows in front of packed houses, winning new fans nightly with his unique sound. K.R.I.T., unlike a lot of Southern producers, is a proponent of sampling, making his sound soulful. His mixtape is better than most entire albums, and that’s the God’s-honest.

His manager (Johnny Shipes) is a friend, and mentioned K.R.I.T.’s favorite brand was Famous Stars and Straps, so we arranged a tête-à-tête at the store so we could chop it up, as we are all fans of K.R.I.T. and his music. I also wanted to show the homie some love and hook him up with some FMS Shoes and new Famous gear, which he vowed to rock at his show at SOB’s tomorrow! Look for big things from Big K.R.I.T., Johnny Shipes, and The Cinematic Music Group in the next few, these cats got it crackin! Next up for Cinematic is Harlem’s own Smoke DZA, watch out cause that boys baaaaad!
