While Big K.R.I.T. has maintained a consistent output over the years, five of his most iconic mixtapes also found their way to streaming last year. Return of 4eva, 4eva N A Day, King Remembered In Time, It’s Better This Way and A Style Not Quite Free all popped up on streaming platforms in August.

“I appreciate everybody who been riding with me over the years,” the Mississippi rapper/producer wrote in an Instagram post to commemorate the moment. “Your support is what keeps me going! Y’all been asking and it’s only right I do this for y’all!”

In an interview with HipHopDX, the 35-year-old credited his longevity to his relentlessly positive energy.

“You start to realize people are creating memories with you, and you’re creating memories with them,” he said. “You’re able to talk about these things and engage. And the hug means so much. The positive energy you need, it gives you that motivation to continue to write and to continue to make music. And I just feel blessed, brother, that throughout these years people not only seen me rap or make music, but I’m still connecting. It’s crazy.”
