Big K.R.I.T. ft. Ragen Fykes (of Grillade) - Neva Go Back

Underground fave Big K.R.I.T. has proven that he can murder a mixtape and body a freestyle with relative ease.  It seems that the big time eludes him just barely, like if the perfect track that can balance Grade A hip-hop, a soulful hook and some pop appeal were put in the right hands, he would be the next to blow.  With the drop of “Neva Go Back” featuring   indie group Grillade, the King just may have that hit on his hands.  Lead singer Ragen Fykes’ hook paints an easy, laid back picture reminiscent of Mid 90’s Outkast, and perfect for reminiscing about childhoods spent running barefoot in Granny’s backyard.   That tone is perfect for this record, considering it was inspired by and dedicated to K.R.I.T’s grandmother, Miss Linnie, whom he remembers “cooking in the kitchen, something good for my soul.” The song has a timeless feel, brought about by the union of the MC’s rhyming and production skills and Grillade’s arrangement execution.  It’s only appropriate they package that chemistry for all to enjoy with the joint Big K.R.I.T x Grillade EP dropping soon.   Whether the songs blows up or not, I'm sure Miss Linnie is proud.
