This week the music industry has dedicated every speck of free space to praise and promote the new album from Taylor Swift. In a year where not a single artist has managed to go platinum with their album release, Swift is believed to be the last great hope for the music industry. If you’re someone who believes that to be true then you likely don’t understand how this business works. We don’t need platinum records in order to have success stories, just dedicated fans who support their favorite artist.

The reason I bring this up is because I believe the industry at large is wrong to write off the rest of the albums coming out this year as incapable of skyrocketing to success. There are at least a handful of albums still to be released this year from major talent, and if I had any say over what got the most limelight it would almost certainly be the forthcoming effort from Big K.R.I.T. Cadillactica has been on our radar all year long, and so far the southern rapper behind it has shared a number of crazy good tracks off the record. Today, he delivered his best to date, and we have the complete stream right here on UTG.

Every rapper who was raised south of Kentucky likes to claim themselves to be the king of the south at one point or another, but in the case of Big K.R.I.T. that boast may indeed be the truth. “King Of The South” finds K.R.I.T. recounting all the things that make him the boss of southern hip-hop, and to be honest I cannot think of a single reason to disagree. The track was produced by K.R.I.T. and features only his vocals (along with enough bass to shake your skull). Check it out:

I thought “Cadillactica” would be the highlight of K.R.I.T.’s next album, but this track is proof that is not the case. I’m not mad about it.

Cadillactica is scheduled to hit stores in November. Follow UTG on Twitter for updates.
