To say Big K.R.I.T. came up in 2012 would be accurate. Though killing it on the underground for the better part of three summers, the M-I-crooked letter representer has brought his region and sound to the forefront this year with a Def Jam debut and festival flights.

I was really just going to jump into the crowd, but they wouldn?t let me over and it turned into crowdsurfing. I kept rapping! I was a little nervous but the fans held me down.
