Big K.R.I.T. -- Free Agent (Def Jam Diss) *NEW*

[Chip Skylark]

same ole subject matter

And this is what I've feared. I'm scared he has peaked and he's going to keep on creating the same ol records and songs.

 

[Zero]

I'm dying to see the excuses for when the next project doesn't live to up expectations

I think KRIT is fully aware he's not going to blow. It's the conditions of his contract with Def Jam that he hated the most. Like he said in the song, KRIT hardly had a budget because he never needed one -- he produces the vast, vast majority of his music and writes all of his material. He's got good working relationships with heavy players in the South, so I doubt the price tag on his features was that high. Plus the label taking an absurdly high % of his album sales from him when he's the one composing all of the music. Not to mention touring and other income that KRIT generates that Def Jam gets to chip away at.

It's about his paper and integrity. I doubt he cares much about blowing. Cadillactica sold close to 60,000 copies with zero radio play. KRIT has a niche fan base that will buy his music, whether he's independent or signed.

You damn right. Im one of them. saw him with Smoke DZA and Freddie Gibbs back in 2011.


KRIT is just too good for majors. He always was.

nah

majors are very much necessary for artists who want to be in the history books

I can name tons of artists that were in the history books that were never on a major. Bands and groups too.

A Big krit and jay elec joint album would be nice. Krit has too much talent and drive to ever give up

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

I agree. I'm glad he's come to that conclusion and truthfully, you have to be at peace with that before you decide to go about it that way. Too many fans expect you to go that route even if you still tryna blow.

He doesn't need a label to hold his hand, he has the south

 

[bordeaux]

wouldnt be surprised to see him partnering w/ tidal like clifford did after he went indy.

 

[Flav]

KRIZZLE. No more sample clearances

Once again it's on

 

[tremonthustler1]

He doesn't need a label to hold his hand, he has the south

Where were they when his albums dropped?


Kevin Gates on the other hand...

 

[SadimirPutin]

not sure how artists keep getting suckered by labels

 

[Lost His Smile]

King KRIT

but he willingly signed the contract

to be honest i think he was just expecting more support and push from the label. not necessarily more split
