  • KRS-One grants the request on camera and calls the title both a blessing and a burden.
  • He explains that KRS stands for Knowledge Reigns Supreme and urges Ab-Soul to carry the name with respect and honor.
  • KRS-One praises Ab-Soul’s authenticity, saying his aura rejects those who are not real and that he recognizes the moment as the right place and time.
