Big K.R.I.T. Celebrates His Own Birthday With The Carefree New Cut "86"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

If your calendar's in order, you should already be aware that today is Big K.R.I.T.'s birthday, and while the hard-work MC/producer deserves damn fine slice of celebratory cake, it seems that we're the ones that are getting gifts to mark the occasion. Big K.R.I.T. has just shared a brand new hard-banging, carefree track that he himself produced; it's dubbed "86" and is an apparent tribute to his favorite ride, the '86 Chevy Monte Carlo. With guitar and bass work from Mike Hartnett, clattering drums and a a vocal hook that's irresistible in its hot-shot simplicity, it's a sure sign that the 29-year-old's upcoming year is going to be his strongest yet.

K.R.I.T. just announced his massive "Kritically Acclaimed" tour on Monday and is still coasting around the hip-hop block thanks to his excellent Cadillactica LP. Turn the ignition on "86" below and check out his live itinerary after the jump. H.B.D. 2 K.R.I.T.!
