Big K.R.I.T. and DJ Drama teamed to drop an unexpected mixtape, It’s Better This Way at 8pm EST today (October 14). The project is available for stream below, courtesy of Datpiff.
Big K.R.I.T. released Cadillactica in 2014. The Def Jam release received a 4.5 out of 5 from HipHopDX.
“Cadillactica is the first time K.R.I.T. has tried something obviously original while under the scrutiny being a major label artist brings,” said DX contributor Jay Balfour. “Without leaning back he’s smartly pushing against himself by enlisting Dahi and Raphael Saadiq and Terrace Martin. There’s a conscious move into original music and instrumentation here that hints at where K.R.I.T. is heading, as well. With Cadillactica he’s found his stride by taking new steps. K.R.I.T. isn’t slept on, but he’s proven again that he should have a bigger bandwagon by now. Once he does he’ll throw some fifteens in the back and keep it moving.
Stream It’s Better This Way below and let us know how it stacks up next to previous Big K.R.I.T. releases.

Ok Krizzle
He’s just underrated and I guess doesn’t have anybody that can help him become bigger. Its coo he’s one of my favorites whether he’s gets bigger or not. But a lot of people are really sleeping on him sadly.
Krit is one of those cats that can really make your trunk pound. True artist right here
One of his best projects in my opinion, his own production mixed with his style and flow is insane. No static, shaken em off, and piece on a chain are fire
KRIT has been elevating his wisdom and his own beats for a minute. All of his music is detailed with vision and groove. Though there’s no Grammy nods ever coming up since his music develops knowledge over war. If he was leading people to live a path to jail, whitey would give him his own show, popsicle, brand of liquor and a vitamin water called Ignorance.
Definitely my favorite. Once again does not disappoint
whuuuutt Warren G???
love that track!
Feelin this project. DOES NOT disappoint. KRIT one of my favorites out here right now.
I needed something new for the soul… krit stays A1 like the sauce mane
Give him the title!!!! The new U.G.K!!!! Been doing it since K.R.I.T Wuz Here!!! Real south represent!!!
OH shit! I’m done searching for new music this morning. My day has just been made. Fuck yeah!!!
One of the best doing it right now. I get pissed when ppl dont put him in the category of J Cole, Kendrick, and Drake as the next in line to hold down hip hop. This man never disappoints on any of his projects. True king of the south!
KRIT is a young wise Southern nigga, on the same ranks as J.Cole imo…….he always brings that knowledge mixed with that Dirty South, UGK type sound….Im downloading and listening to this joint ASAP…..
This is INCREDIBLE. Better than 99.9% of ANY rapper right now.
You can catch me an my folks at the concert! M town 12/3 we’ll show you how to support that real!
