Album Review
Big K.R.I.T. / 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time
2017 Black Music Album Best No.23
Def JamからBMGに移籍したBig K.R.I.T.の3年ぶりのメジャー3作目(2017年冬のリリース)。
2枚組の大作であり、1枚目は”Big K.R.I.T.”パートでAritstとしての自分を表現し、2枚目は本名の”Justin Scott”パートで、生身の自分を表現している。
全編通して、ソウルフルでファンクでメローでブルージーなのだが、1枚目はRapの比重が多く、Trapっぽい曲もある。2枚目は逆に唄の比重が大きく、2-10のようなジャジーな曲もある。
尖がったところはないが、黒人音楽の様々な要素をぎゅっと圧縮したような作品で、聴きどころ多数なので2枚聴くとお腹いっぱいという感じになる。
