Big Krit, "Dreamin'"

I love everything about this new song and video from the Mississippian rapper Big Krit. I love the echoes of Biggie’s “Juicy,” and of Aretha’s “Daydreaming.” I love Krit rhyming into the handle of a mop on the stage in the auditorium of the high school he’s janitoring at. I love that terrific soul sample — I wish I knew what it is, but I don’t. Big Krit is one of the rappers currently on the cover of XXL’s annual “Freshman Class” issue. Here he is rhyming over the classic breakbeat from Billy Squier’s “Big Beat,” with fellow freshman Meek Mill and Fred Da Godson in an attendant video the magazine made.
