KRS-One is currently recording a mixtape in the studio. Since mid-2018, photos have suggested that Kris Parker has reunited in the lab with Dr. Dre, among others. However, as the world waits to see if KRS’ The World Is MIND follow-up will feature some Andre Young sounds, Blastmasta’ lets fans step into his creative world.

In an April video, KRS demonstrated some of his new verses to the camera, including a small homage to a classic Big Daddy Kane rhyme routine. In other sequences, he’s in the vocal booth, laying down rhymes. “Edu-tainment, straight from the pavement, you know we’re known for that / This ain’t Afghanistan, but this is where the dope is at / KRS quittin’? You trippin’, my albums overlap / Spit the dopest rap in any city, I’m that local cat / Rappers want to see me, for real? I bring they focus back / Criminal minded, they been blinded, we gonna re-open that / Black hoodie, vocal rap / This is where my soul is at,” he spits, warning that spits encyclopedia while most rappers are far more concerned about social media.
