Just bought the Krit album. I like it but im sad it lacks some of the more introspective songs of his mixtape work. Kind of plays like a cheap UGK album….that sadly i can listen to over and over. Nice work.
#4 off of Live from the Underground…please add to your best of 2012 list
#5*…but #4 is great too
Yup. #5 Definitely one of the highlights on that album.
