A double threat, Big K.R.I.T., producer and rapper sets out to make a mark on Hip Hop. Multitalented and driven, his pursuit of the thrown has provided him with a highly acclaimed mixtape, collaborations with the industry’s most popular up-and-comers, and a position on the Def Jam roster. With multi-city tours and a new album in the making, the self-titled and self-assured King Remembered In Time doesn’t show any signs of letting up.

Read the interview after the jump.

JukeBOX.: What was it like performing in front of the New York scene? Down in the heart of Brooklyn?

Big K.R.I.T.: Man, it went down man. It was definitely an organic experience. People out there just drinking, performing, man. Doing some kinda bean bag game. I can’t even explain it. We did our thing. Me and Smoke DZA rocked out. So hopefully we’ll have some kind of footage of that coming out soon. But it was definitely dope.

JukeBOX.: Alright. Coming out as a new artist, you really blew up of the K.R.I.T. Wuz Here mixtape and I seen you had some projects before that. So how would you best describe your music and progression as an artist thus far?

Big K.R.I.T..: I’m definitely trying to make timeless music. With K.R.I.T. Wuz Here, people could hear the growth, you know, in the music. And if you go back to a lot of my earlier music, I was still trying to find myself with cadence, subject matter, content, even the beats. So with K.R.I.T. Wuz Here, I was like “Alright, I figured it out.” It’s 5 years in the making and it’s really about me rapping about my life. Nineteen records that I produced, different emotions that I went through….It was really like a last hoorah.
