Hailing from Chicago, King Von was known as a leading figure in the music genre known as drill.
In June 2023, his third album, “Grandson the Album,” was released, and “Robberies” was unveiled as its lead track.
The serious, drill-style production and urgent rapping—along with a music video that evokes a cycle of negativity—make it a work that invites you to imagine what his life was like.
