Raised in the notorious O Block neighborhood, Von had a troubled youth marked by criminal activity and stints in jail. He turned to music in 2018, quickly gaining recognition for his raw, narrative-driven style.
Von’s breakthrough came with “Crazy Story,” a vivid tale of a robbery gone wrong that went viral in late 2018. The song’s music video amassed over 20 million views, catapulting him into the spotlight. He followed up with “Cousins,” featuring JusBlow600, in early 2019.
To further his career, Von relocated to Atlanta and released his debut mixtape, “Grandson, Vol. 1,” in September 2019. The project, which included collaborations with Lil Durk, debuted at number 75 on the Billboard 200, solidifying King Von’s place in the hip-hop landscape.

We didn’t have a deep relationship…. He shared that freestyle on the spot wasn’t his thing but he mentioned that his pen game was mean! He sent me 6 bars… we listened.. tweaked it and he finished the song in about 4 weeks. He let me know he was coming to New York for his album so i asked to shoot the vid! His publicist said he has/likes Hellcat Redeye’s! When i met him he made it known he was gonna hit the drivers seat! 2 days later he passed. I have an interview i recorded that day but I’m not going to release it… no need. After Von passed we couldn’t find the session/vocals/track. Thanks so much to Dj Ted Smooth for working his magic on getting me the vocals to mix. Rest well Von… THANK U FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!
