Albumism

On 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time, Big K.R.I.T. mines emotional depths and exorcises personal demons with a lucidity and sincerity seldom heard these days on contemporary hip-hop records.

The Needle Drop

The Mississippi quadruple threat is back with an epic double album that puts him at a new level.

XXL

Big K.R.I.T. has managed to rise to the occasion and return to form with 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time.

Let me smack some qualifiers on here to justify this album's greatness. We're talking about:

>The best album in Big K.R.I.T.'s discography.
No fucking slouch here. His mixtape run from 2010-2014 was absolutely sensational, dropping quality project after quality project and never skimping on Dirty Souf and food for soul. Rare moment of insane quality AND quantity. To be better then K.R.I.T. Wuz Here is already impressive - to be better then Return Of 4eva is insane. Yet this album does ... read more

Easily one of/the best double albums hip-hop has to offer, and one of the best hip-hop albums of the 2010's. The 3rd act of this album is simply incomparable.

This is the type of album that cements an artist into legend status, and should be seen as one of the greatest and most consistent double LP's in hip hop history.

Favorite track: Bury Me In Gold
