Greedmont Park got a chance to have a sit down with the southern rap artist that has been the focal point of attention and making a lot of noise lately. Ever since the debut of his recent mixtape Krit Wuz Here there has been a climaxing buzz about the new comer and his recent signing with Def Jam has of course helped.
Tell us a little about the track "Children of the World" off of the Krit Wuz Here mixtape…
When it came to writing, I just didn’t want to stop, it was me expressing how I felt about politics, the entertainment industry, spiritual things, financial problems, and poverty. I wanted to touch on all bases. With the song, it was a real personal record for me, it talked about my life, me dropping out of school, being in a relationship and not really being able to focus on it because of financial situations. I also felt like I was overlooked in the game. It was, you know, just me really kind of expressing myself.
Do you try to focus more on the struggle that comes with being an African American rather than the typical lyrics that speak of sex, money and girls?
I really just try to I rap about my experiences and life. Some days you feel clean and fly and I reflect that in some of my songs and some days your down and everything is not working out like you want it to and I got those records too. You go through different emotions in life and different situations. I try to couple them all. I got the "Get Money" record and then I have the songs where its the flipside of getting money, the poverty or the ways that I was trying to get money and the consequences. There are certain things that you do in life and go through and I try to put it all in my music. I try to tell both sides of the spectrum.
