what if the life you were trapped in became the story that gave you a way out?
King Von grew up in Parkway Gardens, better known as O’Block, on Chicago’s South Side. he was surrounded by street and drill culture from a young age.
in 2014, he was charged with murder and attempted murder and spent years in jail before the charges were dropped. after getting out, he returned to the streets
then he told Lil Durk, someone he grew up around, that he was ready to rap. Durk gave him a chance, and Von turned his life into music, eventually signing with OTF
in 2018, “Crazy Story” blew up. Von went from jail to becoming one of Chicago’s biggest drill rappers, releasing Welcome to O’Block
on November 6, 2020, Von was killed at 26 outside a hookah lounge in Atlanta after an altercation turned into gunfire
his story shows you can change your direction, but you have to stay away from what pulled you back. say NO TO CULTISM. don't do drugs. don't let the life you escaped become the life that takes you back
