While KRIT’s prolific skill as an MC is often overlooked and underrated, he feels that mainstream artists who imitate his style are praised more than him. One of the things that has made KRIT’s path to success more difficult is him proudly representing his hometown Meridian, Mississippi. In a 2015 Red Bull interview, KRIT spoke on why so many people glance over fans and artists from Mississippi:

It goes to what people know as the far as the history is concerned and having some kind of idea that Mississippi is how it used to be, that’s one thing. It’s not necessarily a vacation destination too, if you would just generally want to go. Thirdly, I think people sometimes forget that there is an actual fan-base down there. If you’re talking about metropolitan cities, there are not really a lot of huge cities in Mississippi. So if you’re not really in touch with the ground-work, street team aspect in the deep south then you wouldn’t even understand or realize that you have a fan-base there.
