I remember when I was trying to put cats on J. Cole right after I first heard The Warm Up but folks wasn't trying to hear it. When he signed with Jay all of sudden people were fans...same with KL, I guess he's gonna have to sign to a big time major before people pay attention.
I'm good with him touring with Macklemore if it can expose him to a broader audience because that's what he needs. Not saying I want a bunch of yuppies trying to "make" KRIT but if they can get him played then that's cool with me.
He's signed to Def Jam bruh.
Yeah...Dead Jam
Call it what u want, it's still a major and still a company that's helped provide many of plaques. It ain't their fault his music ain't crossing over. If he wanted to stay pat with what he's comfortable doing he shouldve just stayed indie.
The purpose of major labels is to broaden the fanbase, increase media attention, develop talent, and distribute content. All of that equals "crossing over" so yeah, it's Def Jam's fault.
How u do all of that with music that doesnt appeal to the masses?
You have good points that's why I usually agree....I think his issue is he thinks he's "selling out" if he conforms to making music for the radio....I think he just has to work through it....I don't think he'll ever be that huge star but I believe he should be a lot more known than he is....too talented not to be....you can't deny that
And he let's that be known plenty of times in his rhymes. Im not sure If he's disappointed in where his career is or not but at some point you would think hes gotta do something considering he's on a major. Usually signing to a major says you want some kind of fame. Maybe the "Just Last Week" record was a sign of that, maybe not. We'll see.
I don't even like Just last week lol....the beat, lyrics, hook and even future were all generic as fuck......hopefully some of these other producers can bring it out of him.....I know he was recently in the studio with Hit Boy and Beat king....he was also in the studio with both Rafael sadiq and Mike Dean
