Check It ... Big K​.​R​.​I​.​T & Grillade "Neva Go Back"


A few days back I posted up info on the Yourstru.ly Presents K.R.I.T. Wuz Here (The Grillade Sessions) project. Now check out the first leak. You can also check the back story below. Enjoy.
Big K.R.I.T. wouldn’t be the man he is today without Grandma Linnie. The same woman he recalls cooking something good for his soul in “Neva Go Back” is responsible for one of K.R.I.T.’s critical characteristics: his gumption. It’s this strength, and respect for tradition that separates K.R.I.T. from his peers, and gives his songs that lasting luster.

This version of “Neva Go Back” belongs to K.R.I.T., Miss Linnie and the members of Grillade, who fill it to the brim with their own memories and melodies. Notice the weightless harmony in the hook. That marriage of instruments sounds like it should be celebrating its 20th anniversary, but in reality, KRIT and Grillade vocalist Ragen Fykes met for the first time that day at Different Fur. Proof that time isn’t the only force tying us together. In this case, its a shared passion, mutual admiration, and good old-fashioned gumption. – yourstruly

Check It ... @Signif "Box of Sigarettes"


I told you that Signif wasn't going to rest. Just 18 days into the new year, Signif unleashes a bonus track off her upcoming project Significant Wizdom with producer Gee Wiz. After starting the year with the Darren Cole directed “Lovely Imperfections” Signif returns with "Box of Sigarettes." She definitely delivers on this track. Her flow aggressive and the beat fresh. If this is a bonus track, I can't wait to hear Significant Wizdom, which is due to drop soon. In the meantime, enjoy. Chea!

Second Opinion ... Joe Cool "10 SFG"


I'm not sure how I feel about this Joe Cool track completely. So, I'm asking for a second opinion. He takes on the very catchy instrumental from Nicki Minaj's "Moment for Life." The track is off the upcoming"Mixtape For No Fucking Reason" hosted by Maybach Music's DJ Choz and Rich Kids Club apparell. Hit play, and then hit the comment section with your thoughts.
