Cadillactica is the second studio album by American rapper Big K.R.I.T.. The album was released on November 10, 2014, by Def Jam Recordings and Cinematic Music Group. The album features guest appearances from Raphael Saadiq, E-40, Wiz Khalifa, Kenneth Whalum III, Mara Hruby, Rico Love, Bun B, Devin the Dude, Big Sant, Jamie N Commons, Lupe Fiasco and ASAP Ferg. The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 and was supported by three singles: "Pay Attention", "Cadillactica" and "Soul Food". It was also met with universal acclaim from music critics who praised the soulful production and thoughtful lyrics, ending up on many end-of-year lists.

On June 13, 2013, in an interview with Dead End Hip Hop, Big K.R.I.T. hinted towards the title of the album, stating that the title is featured in the opening seconds of the Intro from his debut album Live from the Underground (2012). He stated: "Every album, I told you what the name of the next album was going to be. The name of my next album, on Def Jam [Records], is in the first song on Live From The Underground. It's in the intro. Literally, in the first 30 seconds of ["LFU300MA"], I say what the name of the next project is." In August 2013, in an interview with HipHopDX, he spoke about what to expect from the album, saying: "I’m keeping it soulful, and I’m also really working with a lot of producers as well. So it’s exciting, that I finally get to sit back and be a rapper. I’m used to being in front of the boards. I’m so used to mixing and so used to producing a record that sometimes it takes away from the creativity, or it takes me longer to create. Now I’m getting the opportunity to be in the studio with some dope producers. You know, Terrace Martin, DJ Dahi, Chad Hugo and people like this. It’s just different, because they work differently. The production they do is different, and the sounds they use and what they all sought from me was the kind of music I make. So we just instantly vibe with what we come up with." In September 2013, he announced the title of the album Cadillactica.
