Big K.R.I.T - I Got This
- Artist: Big K.R.I.T.
- Track: I Got This
- Producer: Big K.R.I.T
- Album: Live From the Underground
It practically goes without saying, but Big K.R.I.T. is feeling damn good right now. With 4EvaNaDay—an early front-runner in 2012's Best Mixtape competition—blaring from car stereos everywhere and a blockbuster studio debut in the works, there's no amount of hate that could knock the Booth fave off his stride. I Got This the newly-released lead single off K.R.I.T.'s freshman set, captures that feeling of exultation to a tee. Over one of his most colossal beats to date, a trunk-banging yet intricately textured blend of syncopated percussion, chopped soul samples and G-Funk synths, the Meridian, Mississippi representer flaunts his lavish lifestyle, his “country b*tch,” and the rims on his “old-school whip.” As for those who would offer their non-constructive criticism, he advises them to save it, spitting, “Never worry bout me and don't worry 'bout mine, player / Worry bout you.” So, does this bombastic lead effort bode well for Big K.R.I.T's Cinematic/Def Jam debut? Debate away—and keep it locked for all the latest on the yet-unscheduled Live From the Underground.
