for quite some time, but the world hasn't.

But until boss keef lil dirk fredo santana lil reese and many more began to explode and as time went on more and more artists began to emerge from that area and Chicago finally once again became a huge hip staple -hop and recently in an artist. by the name

king

von has started to explode from that exact area through his unique flows and crazy storytelling skills on the street, he was just another o block superstar ready to take off king vonn was born devon bennett on the 9th August 1994 and was born in Parkway Gardens, also known as oblock, located specifically on 64th Street at King Drive on the south side of Chicago.

He grew up in a broken home with divorced parents. He never saw his mother and his biological father together. His father ended up serving time in prison. and when he came out that was when he officially met his father, but he was only about eight years old, so he doesn't really remember it. Then, a couple of months after meeting him, his father was murdered even though King Vaughn ended up getting good grades in school, both in elementary and high school, however, high school is when King Vaughn says he started to get involved in street life because when he left school he was bored and decided to explore the streets with his friends and in high school.

It was when he officially met a little dagger and they started hanging out as close friends, no one really knows when they started acting out, that was pretty regular, you see what I'm saying, like I didn't know, I just woke one up. The day I was really bad, I don't know what, I was just getting good A's and B's. I don't know the school. You see, I'm saying school here with the good teaching, the good people, okay, so now I can. I'm leaving, they feel good being kind and being productive and everything I do, I'm in school, but now I'm out of school with people who aren't doing it, but on the streets everything they do.

I know it's being loud, bad, you know, selling drugs doing this tonight, so now I'm around them, now you know my volume is yeah, I adapted to that as time went on while I was on the streets, King von said he never joined. a gang instead he was forced to be in a gang that would end up being the black disciples of BDS and the reason he says he was forced to be in the gang is because of the environment he grew up in if he wasn't associated With In a gang you would end up getting beaten up and robbed every day so you had to be associated with the gang to protect yourself and just for your peace of mind.

Oh, I enjoy one, it's been that way since I've been here, see what I am? tell you it's with you where you like it if you had grown up if you had been born when I knew you you could have done anything just because that's what's good you're not going to go out and with that lifestyle obviously Problems arose and the first time King was arrested Vaughn went when he was a young teenager. They put him in juvenile detention for allegedly armed robbery of a vehicle and because he was so young they gave him the option of boot camp, he took it right away and got out.

Pretty quickly, as his friend Lil Dirk rose through the music scene and became a star, he would end up getting into more trouble and on November 21, 2012, King Vonn was arrested and booked into the Cook County Jail for illegal possession of a firearm and at that time King Vaughn says he dropped out of high school, which would be his third year in high school, without being in school, he dedicated himself completely to the streets and when he turned 19, he caught a huge case which could potentially have sentenced him to life in prison. him at the age of 19.

This was a shooting that occurred on May 29, 2014 and then on July 24, 2014, he was booked and charged with first degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. King von ended up spending three and a half years trying to fight. this case and while he was in prison he didn't waste any time there, he ended up getting an education from it and also, he ended up writing his own music for the first time because he planned to get over this case and get out of it. and concentrate on the music like little Dirk had told them to do and then they accused me because I just came out full force from first degree murder of the two attempted murders they accused me of, I gotta get over that, hey I mean we'll get to be together while in prison two he ended up getting a cell with an 80 year old man and would end up taking care of him throughout his time in prison he would push him in his wheelchair remind him to take out his dentures when he went to sleep and of course this old man ended up calling him grandson and he also got the name grandson because of how he behaved in prison, he was showing respect, he was showing that he was a leader in the bd, it would be the old self and like if they put you in the roof like seven they put me there so I have to help him go to the I have to push him in the wheelchair they put me there with a now really like I'm going to sail with a that's eighty I have to take him to lunch I'm going to join not even I know this man but him and Marcel I have to take this man because you're taking his old man there he's thinking he's lying he's having affairs he'd be chewing he's supposed to take it out when you go to sleep so I'm in the school, get out, man, this, I'm in jail when you see it, but I'm that cool, so you're dangerous, but you've got a big heart, man. you know you should, you know you should take care of your people, man, search, your people take care of you, after three and a half years, he finally beat the case due to the lack of evidence against him, he finally came out and at this point he was 23 years old and with all this time passing, he saw that his close friend, Little Dirk, was a hip-hop superstar and decided that he needed to do something to earn income that was legal, so he wanted to dedicate himself to music and Little Dirk was encouraged . which flew him to Atlanta where he could focus solely on music and that's when he officially started recording music, it was mid 2018.

Like we were with him for his entire journey in jail and still I'm not gonna lie like he would never have said anything about rapping, what's that like, how they grew up together, so when he came out he just tried to rap and he liked his first song, he went super crazy and one of the first tracks he released. he was with his friend the zoo called Beat That Body and the reception of that song was great so he kept recording music at Dirk's house and Dirk taught him how to write songs and finally he came up with the song Crazy Story and when he released this song .

In December 2018, everyone was going crazy over the crazy storytelling ability of this song and it was something completely different with multiple flows. We made a crazy story at my house like he never had to write a song, yet he kept recording music and eventually released it. Crazy Story Part 2 with Little Dirk and Crazy Story Part 3. And at that point Loderk officially signed him to his OTF label and Dirk brought King Vaughn to all of his interviews to show him the ins and outs of how to do things as a King von artist. He also opened many shows for Little Dirk and performed solo in quite a few cities and from this he made a lot of money and one of the first things he did when he got a hundred thousand dollars was go straight back to his old neighborhood. on the block and giving back to people, he was very tired of trying to help his neighborhood, whether it was building daycares for children, trying to give back to his community so it can be a better place.

He did it several times and it wasn't just one. The time he gave a hundred thousand dollars was quite a few times, however, King von would get into more legal trouble and this time it would be with Little Dirk on February 5, 2019. Lil Dirk and King von allegedly shot someone downtown from Atlanta where he robbed someone for thirty thousand dollars and more and this victim was shot and almost died and there were cameras there that captured the incident so in June 2019 Low Dirk and King Vaughn had to turn themselves in to the rapper whose real name is Dirk Banks turned himself in. in Fulton County Jail tonight, police say he shot man outside downtown Atlanta restaurant in February, then Little Dirk's attorney immediately worked to set bonds for Little Dirk and King Vaughn because they didn't have any bail available at that time, the lawyer arrived.

I worked and got the established bonus. Little Dirk was released on June 21, 2019 with a bond of 250,000 and then just a couple of days later, King von was released with a bond of 300,000 and immediately after, King von began to focus on music once more and, as time went by. In 2019, he began learning how to become an artist, how to conduct interviews, and how to write tracks in their complete form, from hook to verse, until he finally released his debut mixtape on September 20, 2019 called Grandson vol 1. and this mixtape. It was released independently despite being signed to upload Dirk's Only the Family, it was only distributed by Empire Records and ended up peaking at number 75 on the Billboard 200 charts and number 37 on the US R B and Hip-Hop charts and the Reception once again was It's Amazing, he continued to grow his name in the music industry and as time went on, he began preparing to release his second mixtape.

The first single he released, his second mixtape was called 2am on November 16, 2019 and just a couple of weeks later he released it. the second single came out on November 29, 2019 and then on February 21, 2020, she released the third single, it took her to the o and this is one of the singles that attracted a lot of attention and became one of her biggest albums and this song to date. The making of this video is his highest ranking song on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 47 and on the US R B and Hip-Hop charts it reached number 14. Then, on March 6, 2020, he released his second official mixtape named Lavon James. which is a play on his favorite basketball player, lebron james, and this mixtape debuted much higher than the first, peaking at #63 on the billboard 200 and peaking at #36 on the top r b and hip hop albums with the The success of The King of Music von was very focused on music, but he still had a few whistles, whether on the streets or in the music industry.

The street problem he had was with his fbg duck operations, which was with the gds and king vonn. he was with the beaties who were on the opposite side so they had a lot of street meat fbg duck he was best friends with a boy named tuka tuka he was murdered at the age of 15 and the rappers who were part of bds who were the ops that would make Tuka's Death Fun saying things like we're smoking in that Tuka and King von would actually do that on a couple of his tracks, like all these guys with Little Dirk and of course Fbg Duck, being Tuka's best friend, he didn't like that, so King von ended up inheriting that meat from the streets.

Fbg Duck even released a diss track towards King von called I'm from '63. King von would respond by saying it's trash. The other writings that King von had were more industry driven. One of them had famous decks. and the other was six nine, despite all this, he remained focused on music and was preparing to finally release his debut album. His first single from the album was called All These Hittas featuring Lil Dirk and was released on August 5. 2020 and this track peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 31 on the US R B and Hip Hop charts.

After this, he released the second single from the album called How It Go on August 28, 2020 and then on October 5, 2020, he continued. Instagram and announced that his debut album, Welcome to Old Block, would be released on October 9, 2020. But when October 9 arrived, King von said he had to delay the album and instead released the third single from the album. album called I am what I am with five. eo4 then revealed that the album would be released on October 30, 2020, but before the album came out, he released one more single called Gliesh Place on October 23 and finally, on October 30, 2020,King von releases his debut album.

Welcome to lock the album that debuts at number 14 and sold 25,000 copies in its first week, King von, however, never had the opportunity to see the first week numbers of his debut album because on November 6, 2020, King von would end up murdered due to an altercation in an Atlanta hookah lounge. King von was out that night and was promoting his debut album. He had scheduled an album release party at Atlanta's Opium Club on Thursday, November 5 that night and everything was going well. King vonn's manager says that after the album release party everyone was scheduled to go. I went back to the hotel and slept, however, Vaughn's manager says that King von was free that night for some reason, after the album release party, everyone returned to their vehicles and started heading back to the hotel as planned, but King von's manager says King von randomly decided to take a different turn and go to an after-party club vonn got into his bulletproof security truck with two other people and the driver and randomly decided to go to the after party club once they got there they realized that none of the other people were there so dj vons called and said where are they and that's when they realized that vonn decided to go to an after party club and did not return to the hotel, so after King von's team finally came to the after-party club. where king von was they said that king von would stay in his bulletproof truck for 30 to 35 minutes without entering the club at all king von's friends decided to return to their vehicles because it was very cold outside that night and they were wondering what is King von doing?

King von's manager then gets into the passenger side of King von's bulletproof security truck and asks him why it's taking you so long to get in, come on, he then says, come on, his security then checks the building inside and outside to see if there is a threat now King von's manager says they couldn't bring guns into the club because it's a security risk so all the security and everyone else who had guns had to put them back in the vehicle the von's manager says one of King von's friends approached the driver's side of King von's vehicle and told King vonn that when Rondo pulled up to the Atlanta after-party club and said that when Rondo was essentially meaningless , he had no one around him, it was only when Rondo and a von driver and manager says that just when king von heard that, he immediately got out of the car and went to quando rondo and started fighting with him and everyone at that time They were genuinely confused by what was happening, no one in each camp was even prepared at that moment.

A white car pulled up and King von's team had no idea who that white car was affiliated with. The car left hahaha. Tim, who was friends with Kwando Rondo. He comes from behind King von and shoots him several times. King von's manager says lil. tim fired five to six shots two of the bullets hit king von one hit him in the torso one hit him in the thigh one of the bullets hit king von's manager and king von's manager says king von was using when He hovered around as a shield while they were shooting at him and when this happens, even more hell breaks loose, the police who were guarding the area that night decided to get involved in the altercation and started shooting randomly at basically everyone who was there and that's when everyone began to disperse around the people running inside.

The club hoped they wouldn't get hit and once things calmed down, King vonn's team immediately went to King vonn, picked him up, put him in the back of their vehicle and took him to the hospital, apparently when Rondo was screaming that King von was shot. then his team heard that and ran to him to help him. His team ended up putting him in the back of a vehicle that they took to Grady Hospital in Atlanta and apparently King von was conscious the whole time telling the people in the car to calm down and relax and that it's going to be okay because everyone in the car was Panicked by what had just happened, they took him to Grady Hospital in Atlanta and immediately began operating on him, but during the surgery process he did not manage to survive when the news officially came out and it was reported that King von was in critical condition and that the Atlanta police department shot him, but as time passed we realized that this was obviously not the case.

On the afternoon of November 6, 2020, it was officially announced. that king von had died at the age of 26. It was also reported that someone else had also died and four other people were injured, including Rey von's manager and Little Tim, who was the one who shot Rey von a couple of days later. and lol tim was officially charged with the murder of king von and as time went on more security footage emerged, the equando rondo team and lawyers now say they are practicing self defense in this incident and in georgia we have a strong defense. law and that means if your life is in danger at any time you have the right to defend yourself whether you shoot them or kill them after this, there were a lot of rumors about why when Rondo and King von got into this, there were rumors of which is because the NBA youngster and King von were dating the same type of woman, but King von's manager denied that King von's manager actually denied many rumors that were circulating and all of these are false, they are just claims of Media sources I don't have any sources, King von's manager, however, said that King von went on Instagram live several times and said he would get to work when Rondo and his team and never mentioned he would use weapons if he encountered them. and of course, after king von passed away, his album saw a huge spike in sales the following week, the album ended up climbing to number five on the billboard 200 charts and sold 41,000 copies.

The following week, King von's family and management company released a statement about how they will move forward with King von's remaining music. They said thank you to everyone who showed their great love for King von. You all played a huge role in von's achievements and continued to play his music and share your stories about. How he has inspired and influenced all of you, you are keeping his legacy alive to celebrate Vaughn's artistic vision and the immense love he had for his fans. We will continue his welcome to oblock release as we work to share unreleased music and interviews he dedicated. his creativity to complete Vaughn had also been working on new projects that we will announce in the future.

I love the vonn family and team. Vaughn had plans to appeal to everyone around him. In reality, he was going to get most of the people around him to sign. a record deal and having fifty thousand dollars in his pocket. He came back to Oh Block and gave them back a hundred thousand dollars several times over and had plans to open daycares and o Block and just improve the community there. say that to say that the media often portrayed this king von as this

demon

ic person who didn't care about anyone at all and days before king von passed away he did an interview where he explained how upset he was with youtubers or the media in general. that he was painted in such a negative light now I'm not saying that King von was the most perfect human being, but we have to remember that King Vaughn is just a product of his environment.

Any of us watching this video right now, including me. Who created it? If we were put in an environment where every day there was killing and every day there was poverty, every day there was fighting, you yourself would become a savage because that is the only thing you can do to defend yourself in that environment. Vaughn himself has said it in interviews. He said he wishes his mother had been born in a better environment because he would have been much better too, but he says he was dealt the cards he was dealt and that's how his life turned out.

I didn't crush it, no. I love you, I wish it had never happened in the first place, that's right, it was a lot of what never happened, you know you were, of course, you're with your friend, you were never killed, of course, but you know because you're in a different space. in life right now you know what I'm saying yes, how would it be, would have been, I wish I hadn't grown up in a project, I wish a lot, I wish my mom had some money when I said a lot, yes I could wish a lot were different, but It just happened that way and he tried to make the most of it.

He was getting better. He was trying to improve the community in which he grew up. He was trying to get the friends of him. and unfortunately he didn't have the best opportunity to do so, his life was cut short at the young age of 26 and while working on this

documentary

I came across an interview of Tupac who is over 25 years old and is still faithful to this day . I hear a lot of controversy right now about rap, just the Weather Warning dropped the interscope and a lot of things that have resulted from people saying it's a bad image, it's bad for young people, tell us your comments on that, I said so many comments on this. but basically it's a hypocritical view because what you're saying is that it's okay for us to live in the gutter land in less than human conditions, but it's not okay for us to tell people that we live in these conditions.

Great, you know the ghetto was fine, it was, it was alive, it was livable until we started talking about exactly uh, what were the repercussions of living this kind of lifestyle? What happens when you live in this type of environment? What kind of person? It changes you to now, all of a sudden, it's like you can't talk about it, but this is what we live in, we have no choice, you know, I mean, it's that we really kill people, we sell drugs and we have murders and do all this crazy stuff or let's talk about it with that being said, I hope you enjoyed this

documentary

and long live King Vaughn.
