Song of the Day

Big K.R.I.T. feat. Anthony Hamilton - "Porchlight"
Gotta say I was disappointed in K.R.I.T.'s official "debut" album. I can't be mad at K.R.I.T. for giving us so much free music with his mixtapes, but Live From The Underground just didn't do it for me. I knew there would be some Southern bounce shit on there, but there were too many lame hooks and skippable songs. That being said, when K.R.I.T. does deliver, he delivers big time. Songs like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," "Hydroplaning," "If I Fall," "Don't Let Me Down," "Praying Man" and this Anthony Hamilton blessed track are all on point. If the entire album gave you more of this soulful, introspective music, then it'd be an Album of the Year contender. K.R.I.T. is at his best when he goes beyond the Southern bounce shit and that's what my expectations for him are. More songs like "Dreamin'", "If I Should Die," "My Interpretation," and "Handwriting" and less songs like "I Got This," "What U Mean" and "Yeah Dats Me." Again, I know that's part of his sound and influence being from Mississippi, but I find myself hitting the skip button every time they come on.
