You might want to wait a little before you finish paying off all your school fees for this semester. There will be shows galore in Montreal in the upcoming months.
This week for starters, the Southern rapper Big K.R.I.T. will be back in the city. Having enjoyed his performance two years ago at the Club Soda, I would recommend this show to anyone who loves real underground music. The sound of the South is often commercially portrayed as strip club music but K.R.I.T. is definetly an exception. The Mississippi rapper has released numerous mixtapes for the last decade like 4eva N A Day or Return of 4eva. His heartfelt rhymes has now made him join some of the greats from the South, like UGK and even Scarface. His sound might also remind you of another great legend, the late Pimp C. He just might crown the new underground king of the South.
K.R.I.T.’s first debut album, Live from the Underground was well received by the critics. The album featured Bun B, 8Ball & MJG and Ludacris. No wonder he was part of the XXL’s freshmen class with Kdot.

************************
It has been common nowadays for artists from the same crew to perform separately in a short period of time. Remember when Sheek Louch performed with Ghostface a few weeks before the L.O.X. reunion ? Well, now it is TDE’s turn. If you missed Schoolboy Q’s (or simply haven’t have enough of TDE) then here’s your chance. Ab-Soul has already released three albums under Top Dawg Entertainment and has collaborated with many newcomers like Danny Brown and Jhené Aiko. Aside from telling us that ”people treat us nicer when we wear 50$ drawers on” , this guy has actual bars. He’s worth the stop.
If you’ve wondered why Ab is always wearing shades is because he suffers from the rare Stevens-Johnson syndrome which makes his eyes sensitive to light. Due to that, he stopped playing basketball and discovered a new passion, rapping.
