In 2010, DeuceZ hooked up with critically acclaimed producer, Alex Goose for a song called “Fool’s Gold (At What Price)” on his Fool’s Day Mixtape with DJ Teknology. This time around the emcee links up with BroadNMarket (and assists behind the boards) for the sequel. With the 2012 Summer Olympics around the corner, DeuceZ and BNM reach for 1st place. “Fool’s Gold 2 (Gold Medals)” is stereotypical celebration rap.

Words from Big K.R.I.T himself…
This is the artwork 4 my debut album “Live From The Underground”. It’s a representation of how I feel about underground vs mainstream music. At times I feel like mainstream music operates on a totally different planet. This illustrates how I’ve crash landed into the mainstream to bring the sounds from the underground back 2 the forefront. I want to thank everyone for all their support of my journey so far. Especially Team Big K.R.I.T. and my K4L supporters. I put twitter and facebook backgrounds in here for y’all to put on your pages. Let’s make history on June 5th… – K.R.I.T.
