Big K.R.I.T. & Rapsody | House of Blues
Big K.R.I.T. & Rapsody performs at the House of Blues in Cleveland, OH
"Big K.R.I.T. has always been lead by music’s power to transform and change anyone it touches. The Meridian, Mississippi native grew up listening to classic records in his grandmother’s house, later discovering revered artists such as Curtis Mayfield, Willie Hutch, and Bobby Womack. Today the music he puts out is a great blend of those soulful musicians, as well as hip hop legends like 8Balll & MJG, UGK, Scarface, and Outkast. He singlehandedly and masterfully resurrects the rich heritage if southern hip hop during its prime in the 90’s." (Big K.R.I.T., 2019)
"Rapsody is a GRAMMY nominated North Carolina emcee signed with super producer, 9th Wonder for Jamla Records, and most recently JAY-Z’s Roc Nation. Now with the release of Laila’s Wisdom, Rapsody has solidified her place in the songwriting and music books. The phrase, “Give me my flowers while I can still smell them,” is a phrase spoken by Rapsody’s grandmother and resonates throughout the album. Critically acclaimed, Laila’s Wisdom is an album about love, confidence and living by the wisdom passed down to you." (Rapsody, 2019)
