With North Carolina acts Phonte, 9th Wonder and J. Cole all dropping albums on Sept. 27, it may be a blessing that the release date for Live From the Underground—the sophomore album from Southern rap redeemer Big K.R.I.T.—was recently pushed back to the beginning of next year. Let those other guys slug it out; in the meantime, K.R.I.T. can campaign for some more 808-crazed followers. Initially, this bill included Curren$y, but his decision to jump off a stage to greet fans at last month's Rock the Bells Festival in LA left him with a broken ankle. —Eric Tullis
