Big K.R.I.T. released ‘4Eva N a Day’ 14 years ago today…
It wasn’t just another mixtape, it was the follow up to his breakout project K.R.I.T. Wuz Here and the fan favorite Return of 4Eva. At the time, K.R.I.T. had already signed to Def Jam Recordings, but he still chose to give the project away for free, staying true to the mixtape culture that built his fanbase.
What made 4Eva N a Day special is that K.R.I.T. handled most of the production himself, something he’s always been known for. The tape blends soulful Southern production with reflective storytelling about life, faith, and growing up in Mississippi. Songs like “Boobie Miles” quickly became fan favorites and are still considered some of the most powerful records in his catalog.
K.R.I.T. released the mixtape on his birthday, making it feel like a personal gift to fans. Over time, 4Eva N a Day has become one of the most respected mixtapes of the DatPiff era and solidified K.R.I.T.’s reputation as one of hip hop’s most talented rapper/producers.
