2.21.2020The Chicago Rising Star Returns to O-Block in the Latest Video From the 3/6 LeVon James ProjectCritical Praise:“King Von’s original ‘Crazy Story’ is the kind of thing hip-hop heads should crave: an immediate and distinct piece of cinematic rap that makes time for flirting and gangbanging all in one ferocious verse. The Chicago rapper details an attack on an opp that keeps you engrossed all the way to the very end” – The 405 “King Von’s incredibly vivid story-telling rhymes have propelled him to the forefront of Chicago drill rap.” – The FADER “King Von excels in using his storytelling as a device to portray the struggle of growing up in Chicago.” – Pitchfork The Video: Delivering gripping narratives with an aggressively energetic flow, King Von effortlessly demands attention. Dramatizing another one of his street stories, Von shares “Took Her To The O,” a brand new music video. Over a sinister, piano-led drill beat from frequent collaborator Chopsquad DJ, Von vigorously tells the story of a seduction that goes wrong once another man enters the picture: “She left her phone, so I picked it up/This ho slow as f*ck/Nine missed calls, three of them from mom the other six say “Duck”/Now I look up, and I see a truck, it just pullin’ up/Someone hopped out, a big goofy n****, he tryna look tough.” Directed by Joan Pabon, the video finds Von recounting the story to a therapist, intercutting narrative scenes (cribbed directly from Von’s detailed lyrics) with shots of Von and his therapist getting down to DJ’s beat. “Took Her To The O” is the first single from LeVon James, the Chicago rapper’s upcoming project. With a title that alludes to Von’s G.O.A.T. aspirations, LeVon James is a fierce and invigorating listen, packed with gripping street stories, ferocious flows, and production from frequent Von collaborator Chopsquad DJ, among others. Featuring appearances from King Von’s mentor Lil Durk, along with G Herbo, YNW Melly, NLE Choppa, Tee Grizzley, Yungeen Ace, and Booka600, LeVon James arrives on March 6th via Only The Family/EMPIRE. King Von is currently preparing for his role as the primary support for G Herbo on the “PTSD Tour.” Kicking off in Brooklyn on February 27th (Brooklyn Steel), the 28-date nationwide tour passes through Atlanta (Tabernacle) on March 11th, and Joliet, IL (The Forge) on April 3rd before wrapping up in Cleveland (House of Blues) on April 7th.
