Big K.R.I.T.

Justin Lewis Scott (born August 26, 1986), known professionally as Big K.R.I.T. (a backronym for King Remembered in Time), is an American rapper and record producer. Born in Meridian, Mississippi, he began his musical career in 2005. He was signed to Def Jam Recordings by Sha Money XL in 2010, and first gained recognition following the release of his single "Country Shit" (remixed featuring Ludacris and Bun B) in September of that year. The following year, he guest appeared on T.I.'s promotional single "I'm Flexin'", which became Scott's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100.

Scott's first two studio albums, Live from the Underground (2012) and Cadillactica (2014), both debuted at number five on the Billboard 200. After parting ways with Def Jam, he launched the record label Multi Alumni in 2017 to release his subsequent albums: 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time (2017), K.R.I.T. Iz Here (2019), and Digital Roses Don't Die (2022). Each met with critical praise, Cadillactica was listed by Billboard and Complex as among the best albums of that year. Furthermore, Scott has produced for other artists, with credits on releases for Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, T.I., Slim Thug, ASAP Ferg, Freddie Gibbs, E-40, and Berner, among others.
