K.R.I.T. Wuz Here
Pretend it’s 1996 and UGK's Ridin' Dirty is oozing from every car in Houston. J Dilla and Outkast are making strides. Now fast forward to 2010. Throw Pimp C, Dilla, and OutKast in a blender and sprinkle a hint of 8Ball & MJG. Welcome to Big K.R.I.T. Wuz Here. How good is this album? K.R.I.T. released his self-produced debut to the web for free. A few weeks later, Def Jam reps came knocking on his door, record contract in hand. It all happened on the strength of the year's best DIY debut.
