Last year, two of the South’s finest up-and-coming emcees – Yelawolf and Big K.R.I.T. – shared the stage on XXL’s 2011 Freshman cover. Now, K.R.I.T. says that the two emcees are in talks to record a collaborative mixtape titled Country Cousins.
In a recent interview from the Masked Gorilla, Big K.R.I.T. said that he and Yelawolf have been talking about recording a mixtape project together. Although the duo has yet to hit the studio together for the project, he explained that they maintain a friendship outside of music that will ensure their future collaborations.
“I definitely knew Yela before the [XXL] Freshman cover. I had the opportunity to meet him at Tree Sound [Studios] in Atlanta, and he’s a down to Earth person, really just hungry and really just competitive about just the art of music,” he explained. “It was just dope to really get to work with him. The first day I met him, we ended up doing a song called ‘Happy Birthday Hip Hop,’ and from there he’s just been my country cousin and I’m excited to see what’s been going on with his grind…Lord willing we can do this tape Country Cousins eventually.”
Check out the full interview below.

krit dont do it my nigga. yella is wack as fuck. krit is a beast. yella annoys the shit outta me
I think of gay shit when I read the name “Alf Capone”. i also think of gay shit when i read your comments saying things like “Alf Gang or…. it might be because your such a faggot yourself mayne.
Krit is a fucking tight MC/Producer, and I gave Yella a shot multiple times and I just don’t think he’s dope. I’ve heard two Krit/Yella tracks off Gods Machine 2 and deleted them off that mix after hearing them a few times. you should do a collab tape with J Cole, you’d only have to produce half the tracks!
i hate it when someone i like (in this case, K.R.I.T.) collaborates with someone I hate.
why u hating dog…he has lyrics…its not like u gonna kiss him or some shit like that
aye nigga what the fuck does that have to do with anything? y would that even come up? y would u even think about some gay ass shit like that? u prolly staring at that pic studying his lips as i type this. gay ass niggas always gotta bring up some gay shit outta nowhere. nigga u gay
Yelawolf is as ovveratted as rappers come. I mean really this dude is a pozer
u must not understand his metaphors. or probably just listened to his singles

Yela cool krit a better mc though. This should be good
2 of the most creative original MCs with the best flows in a long time. Also both are decent lyricists as well. This should be incredible.
Two new best acts out of the South. Shit’s gonna be great.

Hopefully KRIT can inspire Yela a bit and tell him when sh!t is weak.. Yela is a dope MC but that radioactive album should have never come out it is absolute garbage “yeah how throw it up” Worst track ever.. 0-60 was fire BIg KRIT latets mix tape FIRE.. Let KRIT make nd pick beats and no female hooks please.. Keep it dirty!
