Big K.R.I.T. has yet to reveal the full details of his upcoming King Remembered in Time project with 9th Wonder, but the Mississippi rapper has leaked another track from the sessions, the James Blake-sampling "R.E.M."

The track features an icy snap and ripply piano lines settling beneath golden-throated snippets of Blake's "The Wilhelm Scream." Oddly, the song brings in a stock sample of a dude shouting just as K.R.I.T. jumps into his first verse, but they opted not to use the Wilhelm Scream itself.

As for K.R.I.T., he goes off about real life, phonies ("snakes in my front yard, I swear I'ma deal with it") and more as he wanders around city streets and rides escalators in a dreamstate. You can check out his journey out down below.
