Curren$y along with Trademark Da Skydiver, Roddy, Smoke DZA, Big K.R.I.T. and more are embarking on the Jet Life Tour which begins the same day that Covert Coup drops, 4/20.
If you’re in LA, the Jets are making a stop here April 29th at El Rey. I’ll be attending the show in Costa Mesa at Detroit Bar on May 4th. Get your tickets at EventBrite.com.
Mississippi MC Big K.R.I.T. is heading on tour with Freddie Gibbs and Smoke DZA. Here’s the first video of the tour.
Check out Behind the scenes with K.R.I.T., performing “Country Shit” with Bun B in Houston, signing wood grain steering wheels, there was even a jonah hill look alike singing “amtrak” which was hilarious & ending with a Big Sant freestyle who you def need to be paying attention to because he is truth, he’s the gentleman on “return of 4eva” & “Made alot” on “K.R.I.T. wuz here” & “Returnof4eva”
I just want to say that Big K.R.I.T. needs to collab with J. Cole on a track, soon. I just checked my iTunes, which would have it if it existed, and nada. *sending out vibes to the universe*

It feels like Nardwuar is dropping an interview everyday. Yes!
Steve-Ography, founded by Steve-O of GFCNY, documents the lives of a range of creative acts, traveling from coast to coast. The talents of these acts fall within the realms of music, entertainment, fashion, photography, etc. In its first web series, P.O.V., Steve-Ography captures all aspects of artist’s lives and the point of view of everyone involved in their lives, from fans to the artist themselves.
For the fourth episode of P.O.V., Steve-Ography documents Big K.R.I.T.’s show for Billboard Magazine at SXSW. K.R.I.T. also performs Hometown Hero with Grillade.
I need Big K.R.I.T. to go on tour with Grillade soon. That will be one hell of a show.
As they did last year, XXL and DJ Whoo Kid have put together a 25-tracked mixtape showcase of the new freshman class. You can see the class on the cover, above, and you can download the mixtape using the link, below. If you want to take a look at the tracklist, feel free to do so after the jump.

Seems like everything I see/hear on Big K.R.I.T gets me genuinely more excited about him as an artist. Here is the first video off Returnof4eva which is slated to drop March 28th.
I couldn’t afford beats. I was 13 and I couldn’t afford to go to the studio and I couldn’t afford to pay for beats. So “MTV Music Generator” came out for PlayStation and that was it. I was like, ‘I done made it.’ I recorded to a karaoke machine, looping the ‘MTV Music Generator’ beat and that was the start. I was like, ‘I could make my own beats and rap? I can mass produce music on my own, I’m good.’ And that’s where it began.
i hate 2 b the bearer of bad news but……#Returnof4eva has been pushed back to 3.28.11 it will b worth the wait

Sidenote: Return for 4eva is being delayed six days. Sad face.

My favorite performance of #SXSW ’11 was @BIGKRIT

I already posted some footage from the Billboard SXSW showcase but I figured a mini-compilation of performance footage of the Mississippi rapper wouldn’t hurt especially since he was one of the greater acts there. Check out the performance footage from SXSW including the last video which features Curren$y. Oh yeah, Return of 4eva comes out tomorrow.
Props to Young Sav & Steve-O, UE, IRC for the footage!

I heard Big K.R.I.T. gave a great performance with his live band, Grillade, during this showcase from a few different sources but it will get overshadowed by Odd Future’s “Fuck Billboard” stunt. Don’t forget, K.R.I.T.’s Return Of 4Eva drops March 22nd.
Back to the Odd Future stunt. Tyler, The Creator really dissed the publication of the cover he was just on and stormed off stage.
Tyler said, “Here’s the song you guys all came out to see anyway.” He did “Yonkers.” He then said “You know what, fuck this. Fuck Billboard. I don’t even read that shit. Come see us at Vice” and then ran off the stage. Hodgy Beats and Domo Genesis followed. Left Brain jacked off his mic towards the audience. Syd argued with the soundman. Their people came out and grabbed their stuff and the group bounced. People at the front shout “Wolf Gang.” It was bonkers. And it was over. – prefix mag
I need to see them live. Check out the rest of the performance after the jump, including the video of Odd Future storming off the stage.
