Friday night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, the lovably fired-up Mississippi rapper/producer Big K.R.I.T. trotted out his hella-fun new single “I Got This.” The Roots, a band uniquely well-suited to take on K.R.I.T.’s humid organic thump, backed him up, and it was a ton of fun to hear the tuba taking on the song’s subs. But the real joy in the performance was in seeing K.R.I.T., a man viscerally appreciative of every scrap of good fortune that comes his way, soaking up every moment of his TV debut. Look at his smile at the end! The performance is below, and it is worth watching.
