Big K.R.I.T. and Yelawolf have discussed their collaborative Country Cousins project for almost two years, and it’s finally in motion. After Yela gave several interviews claiming that the mixtape is all about timing, Big K.R.I.T. spoke with Bootleg Kev about the project, stating that it’s in the works and will be a lyrical “competition” between the two.
“It’s coming out,” he confirmed. “The lyrical content, for one, is going to be crazy. Because if you know anything about Yelawolf, he’s extremely lyrical person. So I’m excited to get in the studio and go toe-to-toe with him, lyrically. It’s going to be a friendly competition with that. And then just really making something that’s probably never even been heard before.”
He also stated that he will produce much of the project, but isn’t averse to enlisting other producers. “I plan on it, I mean, that’s the plan. I might reach out to other producers, too. Just to be on the road, it’s hard to be as creative as I’d like to be. I just want to make sure the record is 100 percent, just crack.”
The Meridian, Mississippi native also named his favorite rappers. “Scarface. Man, I need these people in groups. Can I put the rest as a group? Outkast, UGK and 8Ball & MJG. That’s what my iTunes consists of.”

IT SHOULD NOT BE CALLED COUNTRY COUSINS IT SHOULD BE CALLED “WE BOTH FLOPPED AND NEED SOME BUZZ”
Krit’s album didn’t sell fantasticly, but it was dope as fuck.
While I can’t speak about Yelawolf, I can confidently say that Krit’s album was miles ahead of anything YMCMB has put out since at least 07.
AND YOU SHOULD BE CALLED “I STILL EAT STUNNA’S CUM WITH A SPOON”
I understand that Krit and Yelawolf are cool with each other. But I don’t think they need to make a collab album. Krit would outshine Yelawolf in every which way. Now a Krit and Bun B album will be something worth listening to.
I don’t know Yela has a better flow and better lyrics then KRIT KRIT is just better at making music so…
Get off KRIT’s dick.
Really OutKast? You would’ve never of guessed… 4eva N a Day, Return of 4Eva… Forever, forever, ever, forever, ever?
Get off OutKast’s dick.
yea idk what yall are talkign about…Radioactive was dope as hell…Yela’s lyrics and rapid style is going to make KRIT have to step it up real talk
I need Yelawolf trunk muzik not that radioactive B.S.
yelawolf metaphors are insane

Listen to happy birthday hip-hop and hometown hero remix and you will see they both bring the good out in each other. I think they should do a full lp. Not to mention a full album with yelawolf on krit beats will just be sick!
Fuck this nigga, he only said those names cause they’re from the South.
And? He’s obviously influenced by them. Who did you want him to mention?
Get off Memphis’ dick.
Ice Cube > Scarface
Ice Cube (L.A.) > Scarface (Houston)
End of story.
What are you saying? Just because Scarface is from the South he’s wack? I live in Dallas and I felt deeply offended by your comment. We had contributed to Rap music just like everybody else and we’re as good as any West Coast or New York rapper
go back to your longbeach and get back to Ice Cube’s dick,
seriously, quit hating the south, why are you so mad about the fact that someone not from the westcoast has skills, talent and know how to do music ?
Where are you coming from with all this nonsense?
Both paved the way for their respective regions and are legends
ice cube made 2 good albums and 10 shitty ones while scarface is consistent even his latest album was above average
I’m sick of niggas hating on the South. Ice Cube is a bitch nigga that haven’t dropped a good album since 1992 while Scarface only drops classics
Get off Ice Cube’s dick.
HAHAHAHA. Fuck all of you redneck bitches. The West will always be the greatest.
sup with the justin beiber and memphis bleek mixtape???..
finally somebody who doesn’t put in their top list same fuckin names like biggie, pac, hov, etc.
his top five is better than that one from meek mill, game or kendrick lamar
I’m not saying that biggie, hova or pac are not good rappers, either I don’t listen to none of niggas K.R.I.T. mentioned, but it surprises me that he is not the sheep mentioning the same stupid names everytime
Big Krit flopped. lmao… nobody bumbin his wack ass muzik.. oh and his idols are sum old ass niggas. Outkast? UGK? really? Scarface? lmao…. young niggas dont listen to old niggas. swag
Don’t give a fuck about your Young gay ass..
this trolling got old
Nobodyover 25 gives fuck about “Young Niggas” either so its a fair trade
I’m a young nigga and I listen to old niggas, so eat a dick.
15years old wack forum
I don’t see this being a good move for Krit….he still needs to establish himslef as a solo arits…i don’t want to hear him do a project with fuckin yellow wolf? That shit is random to me.
this is not random at all. krit and yela have been friends for a while and almost anybody can see that they got chemistry. i cant wait for this shit
@my boi so icy ……are you still suckin on birdmans dick ?
FUCK YOUnG MONEY AND ALL THEIR COMMERCIALISED ARTISTS!!!
