2. "Are there any plans to do physicals of the first two albums?" In response to Reply # 0
I heard a rumor that his label was somehow going to put out an official CD of "Krit Wuz Here" but I don't know how credible it was. I also tried buying the autographed CDs that were for sale, but they don't seem to be available any more. (Yes, I'm old school)
Other question, do you have any feel for when "Live from the Underground" might be out, or is that just a silly question right now? Word has been "early 2012" whatever that means. I'm in the "sooner the better" camp.

>i could be wrong and that's already happened but my copy is >160.
MP3s that are 128kbps or higher are broadcast quality. Releasing R4 320kbps would have made the zip file to large for quick download so we set it at the iTunes default 160kbps to accommodate everyone.
If you play R4 in a car or on a loud concert system you won't hear any real drop off. Unless you are an audiophile, then I'd understand your concern.

You can get get hard copies of both KWH and R4 from bigkrit.com. I believe they are restocking now. KWH is also available on iTunes.
The plan for LFTU is for it to be released in the 1st quarter of 2012. That's all I know at the moment.

K.R.I.T. told me he'd clean up a few songs and send em, so let me know when you all can get some of those to me, even though I don't have too many clean gigs nowadays.

Right on man.. good to meet you too. You were killing it before the artist sets. I dug how you played records to set up the vibe prior to the artist performing. Playing all the Scarface, Outkast, Goodie Mob etc was a great alley-oop for us.
Here's a zip full of clean versions of some of KRIT's more popular jams from KWH and R4. http://is.gd/KRITCleans
15. "RE: Who's he producing for these days?" In response to Reply # 5

T.I., Ludacris, 8Ball & MJG and a few other people have reached out recently. I know he just sent some stuff to Curren$y. Also, Raekwon reached out via twitter earlier today so we'll see how that goes.
In the meantime, here's a list of his production discography if you'd like to check it out.
33. "RE: Any more tracks with Fat Trel" In response to Reply # 31
>Loved that last song he produced for him.
Anything is possible.
I love that beat. The native Tennessean that I am wished that beat would have gone to someone in Memphis. Imagine Project Pat on that.... or even Yo Gotti... man.
Anyway, Trel did his thing and the song ended up being really dope. Shout out to DC.

KRIT is producing the whole album. Mixing it too. Mixing it with help, but he's directly involved with that process.
He's pretty much got all the features he wanted locked down.
With the features though, we try and keep those quiet to build an element of surprise. I think that's something that's been lost in music. Right now with all the pressure to produce online content to generate buzz everyone tells everyone who is on their album 6 months before it drops. We're trying to recreate that type of feeling when you had when you bought OB4CL put it in the player and found out there was a Nas verse. That "oh shit" reaction. Hip-hop needs that again.
... the biggest name to go there recently was Pauly D from Jersey Shore fame. It's really just a night club that hosts fighting and maybe a Rick Ross/Plies when theres a big event in town.
The dope spots in town are actually: Firestone Live The Social The Beacham Theatre The Plaza Live Theatre
and of course your House of Blues/Hard Rock Live venues.

We'll be in Ft. Lauderdale this weekend. Friday I believe. No plans to return to Orlando at the moment. I'd certainly like to come back. My sister worked at 102 Jamz for a couple of years and I enjoyed the town every time I'd visit.

What inspired him to come up with that?
P.S. My mother passed away four months ago, and so that song "The Vent" really speaks to me. Tell K.R.I.T. I'm thankful that he made it. (I know it's about his grandmother)

KRIT is a big fan of Kurt Cobain. Probably because Kurt was true to himself and the music he wanted to make. He fought everyone who tried to compromise what Nirvana was doing in the pursuit of a dollar. It was always about the music first. I think KRIT identifies with that mindset. Above all else, make sure it jams.

Best hip hop song since Dreams by Little Brother (imo, I hold Dreams high up on the list of great hip hop songs)... Vent is really just an amazing song... People on my facebook probably hate me because I posted it hella after downloading the album and then at least once since the official video dropped... Just one of those songs you can relate to on a bunch of levels... Tell him thank you for it...

46. "RE: any Memphis plans?" In response to Reply # 44

We were in Memphis a few weeks ago for K97's Summer Jam. Hopefully we'll back soon to play one of the performance venues instead of a big time commercial radio event. Nothing wrong with them, I'd just prefer to be somewhere like the New Daisy Theater instead.
I got love for K97 though. Devin Steel is a long time friend. I've actually mixed on that station 5 or 6 times before.
47. "that would be great" In response to Reply # 46 Thu Sep-29-11 01:16 PM by hardware
somebody told me about that show the day after it happened and i was furious
but i think i'd feel more at home if ya'll showed up at The New Daisy or the Hi Tone and did a show. Ball & G have been known to show up sporatically at the Hi Tone so maybe thats an option in the future or even Gibbs.

KRIT wanted (and needed really IMO) more time to work on it. He requested the extra time to make it all the way right and was granted it.

I agree, "I'm Flexin" is jammin like a muthafucka.
I personally don't have any songs with T.I. or Ludacris. However KRIT has one song w/ Luda "Country Shit (Remix)" and a record he produced for him that hasn't been released yet.
"I'm Flexin" is the only record he has with T.I. at the moment, but I have a gut feeling that it won't be the last.

Thanks. It was kind of difficult though. We were all hoarse because we had literally came over to A3C immediately after doing another outdoor performance for Clark-Atlanta University's homecoming concert.
Still, glad you enjoyed the show. I wish they hadn't cut our time either.

About a year ago when KRIT was in the Bay Area recording the "The Wuz Here Sessions" with Grillade, Berner reached out to KRIT's manager inquiring about beats for his "The White Album" LP. "Yoko" was one of them. KRIT actually produced a second song on "The White Album" that has Killa Kyleon on it.
The version on Berner's album only has KRIT and Wiz on it.
The story Berner told me about how Chris Brown got on it is that... they were working in the same studio in LA and Chris Brown walked by Berner's room and heard the beat, stopped in his room inquired about it, asked Berner to get on it and if he could put it on his upcoming mixtape. Berner obliged and thus, we have the "Yoko (Remix)". He also said that Chris is a big fan of KRIT's and was even more excited to do the record once he found out KRIT produced it.
