Video: King Von – “Fck Yo Man”*

With His Girlfriend Asian Da Brat in a Co-Starring Role, “Fck Yo Man” is the Latest Video from the Only The Family Signee’s Debut Mixtape* Grandson, Vol. 1

Critical 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:

One of rap’s most vivid and visceral storytellers, King Von brings his tough attitude and sharp attention to detail to every song he drops. Seamlessly blending his hard-nosed street persona and romantic-lead charisma, Von shares “F*ck Yo Man,” his new video. Produced by Kid Wonder, “F*ck Yo Man” tells the story of Von’s attempts to woo a woman in a committed relationship, as he worries about what he’ll have to do get her man out of the picture. Filmed in a sensual soft light by director SetItOffTV, “F*ck Yo Man” finds King Von pursuing the affections of Asian Da Brat, Von’s IRL girlfriend, spending an afternoon with her before conflict arises when her man gets home. “F*ck Yo Man” is a highlight from Grandson, Vol. 1, Von’s brand new debut mixtape, which peaked at #4 on Apple Music’s all-genre streaming charts over the weekend.

Building off a series of buzzing singles and guest appearances, Grandson, Vol. 1 provides a compelling portrait of the Only The Family signee, providing insight into his family upbringing, his stints in prison, and his grappling with rap fame. The new tape brings the gripping drill narratives for which Von is known, but also finds the rapper embracing new styles and modes. Featuring appearances from Von’s OTF brethren Lil Durk and Booka600, and hosting Von’s breakthrough single “Crazy Story” (40 million YouTube views), Grandson, Vol. 1 is available to stream everywhere via Only The Family/EMPIRE.

The Background:

King Von was born in the South Side of Chicago, growing up in O Block, the area that produced Chief Keef. After rightfully beating an erroneous murder charge that could have put him away for life, King Von took inspiration from heroes like Lil Wayne and turned to rapping, linking up with Lil Durk who signed him to his OTF label. Within six months, Von had a series of viral hits, including the sinister “Problems,” which has over 3.4 million views after its debut on Lil Durk’s YouTube channel, and the defiant “War Wit Us,” which has over 3.8 million YouTube views. With “Crazy Story” currently burning up urban radio (it recently reached #76 on the nationwide chart), Von seems to be on the fast track to translate his fervent local following into national fame.
