Big K.R.I.T. Reaches out to 8Ball & MJG!!!


Big K.R.I.T is the type of artist, like David Banner or Kanye West, that is just as likely to be praised for his beats as he is for his verses. It isn’t hard to imagine a lot of emcee’s enlisting the young southerner for some behind the boards work on their projects, regardless of whether he raps on the tracks or not. And, according to K.R.I.T., that would be just fine with him.

The Mississippi rapper/producer revealed a list of artists he would love to work with. That he listed legends like Bun B, Cee-Lo Green, and Andre 300 was no surprise. But he signaled out one group who he would be willing to strictly produce for, and a full LP of songs at that. K.R.I.T. said, “8Ball & MJG, if I could produce a whole album by them, without me even rapping.” The hugely influential Memphis duo have been releasing for nearly two decades now, with such full length acclaimed works as Comin’ Out Hard and On Top Of The World to their name. In fact, the title of Ball & G’s 2000 release, Space Age 4 Eva, could be seen as a possible influence on the name of K.R.I.T.’s latest mixtape, "Return of 4Eva.


He also expressed a desire to work with the likes of Sharon Jones and Coldplay for his Def Jam debut, but K.R.I.T.’s music is usually self-made, both with rhyming and producing. While his latest project "Return of 4Eva had notable guest appearances by Chamillionaire, David Banner, Ludacris, Bun B and Raheem Devaughn, last year’s “K.R.I.T. Wuz Here” had a minimal guest list. This is a big change of pace for other southern emcees like T.I., Young Jeezy, and Slim Thug who seemed to have notable names involved from a very early stage.
“I’m used to working by myself, because I’m the type of person to not like to work on a record and not be finished,” K.R.I.T. explains. “I have an understanding that when you feature a lot of people, they may not be able to come through because of their schedule. So then what do you do?”
