Big K.R.I.T. is here - NYC show tonight, free album online
DOWNLOAD: Big K.R.I.T. – Country Shit (MP3)
On “Country Shit”, [Big KRIT] borrows Pimp C’s twanged-out elastic sneer and just rides the everliving hell out of his own woozy thump: “I was riding my Screw shit, rims chop-choppin’/ Top droppin’, throwing breadcrumbs, crows start flockin’.” As a producer, he’s an expert sample-chopper, and his track weaves in theremin peals and stuttery sighs and vintage 808 destruction. It’s the sort of track you want to use to make sure your car stereo’s bass pounds just right. If you don’t feel like a superhero while this is playing loud, you need a new system.
