When I was in prison, I'd see the most talented ppl ever. Rapping, drawing, tattoos, jail house attorneys, basketball, etc. Crazy talented ppl up in there. It's a shame.

“This man said in real life people know what’s going on” that was the most humblest threat ever 😭😭😭😭

I love Von's honesty about how he makes his music. "People say Took Her to the O sounds exactly like Crazy Story, like yeah it is exactly like Crazy Story, a mf ain't have no beat in jail whuchu want me to do." lmfaoo. RIP Von straight legend

2024 who’s still here?

Adam was out here interviewing a real live villain

This was probably the best Von interview cause Adam let Von talk an didn’t cut him off like most do

Over three years, I still came back to watch dude. Live Long King VON👑

bruh i swear all the toughest gangsters be the most chillest and respectful ppl ever

Smart, dangerous, caring, talented, intellectual, good flows, good bars, good voice. Dude had everything needed to become the next huge mega star. He was already big when he died. Such a huge loss.

RIPVON dude had a trait that is almost extinct now a days. LOYALTY. the real ones leaving so soon. it’s heartbreaking man.

Still can't believe my favorite rapper gone. Bros energy was everything.. We won't get another story teller like this in a loooong time 😓

He was a perfect example of raw energy, and whether you liked it, or not, or agreed with what he did or not, you cannot deny his authenticity to what he portrayed

I can't believe he died.... I was just starting to listen to him!

i’ve voted him every hour for xxl

Because Adam had no clue about Von street life and approached KV like an artist with a rough background, makes this interview one of my favorites he ever sat down to do. You can tell Von likes the questioning too and is giving a lot of insightful answers

His voice is sooo asmr material! Love listening to him, his stories are vivid!

See how von actually intelligent

He said “it’s love in Atlanta” he just lost his life there.

Von seemed like such a humble down to earth guy! Considering his past he seems so pure! I guess you can’t help becoming a product of your surroundings! R.I.P von
