STG Presents Big K.R.I.T. at The Neptune on Saturday, October 12, 2019.

Big K.R.I.T. is a rapper’s rapper—clever with lyrics, nimble with rhyme flows, and generous with food for thought. But the Meridian, Mississippi artist, whose stage name is an acronym for King Remembered In Time, isn’t just here to wow you with his words; K.R.I.T. wants to be a voice for the people.

“A lot of times I made music, I hit ’em with the similes, the metaphors and it's great, but how do I create the type of music that can really help somebody, that people can relate to?” says K.R.I.T., a savior of yesteryear’s countrified hip-hop. “Don't get it twisted—my lyrical prowess is still very important to me, but I’m really understanding my place, what God wants for me.”

With Special Guests Rapsody + Domani Harris
