Big K.R.I.T. makes his swift return today (Jan. 20) to reveal his latest single “So Cool.” Preceded by an Instagram caption saying he has “something up his sleeve,” the new track signals a forthcoming project on the horizon. On the track, K.R.I.T. rides the beat with ease:
I get hot like a skillet, thinking ’bout money and the billin’ on the phone with the lender and I’m livid/ If the bank had a cap, I would peel it like, really/ Tryna get millis, get a bigger house, view so vivid a couple cars, a garage, chrome wheelin’ You think materials make me sound silly like, really/ How are you so cool? Oh, so cool/ How are you so cool? (You say we don’t need that money, you say we don’t need that money)/
As a treat a few months ago, K.R.I.T released his series of five career-defining mixtapes (Return Of 4eva, 4eva N A Day, King Remembered In Time, It’s Better This Way, and A Style Not Quite Free (12 for 12))on DSPs for the first time. The blog-era staples were previously lost in translation as the music world moved to the new norm of streaming, but they are back now and here to stay.
Big K.R.I.T. shared his project K.R.I.T. Wuz Here back in May of 2020. The body of work spanned 18 tracks and saw guest features from names like Smoke DZA, two from Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, and Big Sant. He also could be heard handing out guest verses on songs like Tobe Nwigwe’s “BOZOS,” David Banner’s “Come Home” alongside Ne-Yo, T-Pain, Kandi and Trombone Shorty, and also for “Santos Party House” with his blog era brothers Smoke DZA, Wiz Khalifa, and Curren$y. K.R.I.T. also released his “KICKOFF” single as summer was coming to a close.
