Big K.R.I.T. - "Dreamin" Video
Big K.R.I.T. continues to walk in the footsteps of Southernplayalisticadillamuzik-era Outkast and early Geto Boys, bringing a soulfulness to the beats some real heart to his lyrics. K.R.I.T. isn’t gangsta, he’s just trying to get over, spinning tales of life and hardship in Mississippi. “Dreamin” is the first video off of his soon to be released tape Returnof4eva.

“Michael Dwayne Adams has a unique gift for crafting engaging melodies while applying some well-oiled decision-making skills.
