As BiG K.R.I.T prepares to deliver his Sophmore album he sat down with XXL and unveiled the influence behind his unique album title, “Cadillactica,” which to no coincidence, had much to do with his passion for the cadillac model car. Hit the jump to see exactly where the southern gent is trying to take you with his next project!
“It’s just one of those things that I was thinking about, ’cause in my first [album] cover Live From The Underground, it’s a Cadillac that has crash landed on planet earth. Just the whole storyline of being able to take you in reverse of where the Cadillac comes from. It’s creating this planet called Cadillactica where the soul and the funk comes from and being able to transcend my music with that idea. Diving deeper into what else can I do, how far can I take this record. How I can change these instruments and manipulate my voice; and make my voice an instrument. All these things to me are extremely important to really draw you in, to creatively try to do something totally different with this album. And I think it starts with the base of Cadillactica, you know, the planet of all this.
“I feel like it’s important that I get out of my comfort zone for the sake of growth and my creativity and work with other people.”
I’m working on it now, I’m brainstorming hardcore, I’m working with other producers as well. You know DJ Dahi, Jim Johnson, Rico Love, DJ Toomp, Terius Martin; there’s a lot of other people, too, that I’m gonna get in the studio with. But those are the people for starters that I’ve been working with, that I’m really excited about the content I’ve been able to create.
