![]() is like a hip-hop version of a group of rock revivalists. There's a reason that Return of 4Eva dropped just as the weather was getting warmer. ![]() ![]() But for the most part, he focuses on turning classic Southern rap sounds into comfort-food background music- the sort of thing that sounds absolutely gorgeous in a car on a warm spring afternoon, when you're driving slow with the windows open. Every once in a while, he'll come with something harder, like the skeletal keyboard bloops of "My Sub" or the horn-and-organ thunder of "Sookie Now". Refracted versions of guitar and organ sounds wind their way through oceans of bass, all building into a perfectly evocative, nostalgic sound. On Return of 4Eva (still free, still online), he progresses even further, turning his sound into a sleepier, woozier flutter- a comfortable bed for his voice to sink into. On last year's free online album K.R.I.T Wuz Here, he marked his place in a lineage of organic, soul-sampling Southern rap producers that includes giants like Pimp C and Organized Noize, making hard-thudding personalized version of the tracks he must've heard growing up. As a producer, though, he's good enough that he could be half a Ying Yang Twin and his music would still be well worth the hard-drive real estate.
