The discography of American rapper King Von includes three studio albums, two mixtapes, thirty-one singles, with ten of them being featured collaborations, and thirty-three music videos all crafted during his career. His work is known for vivid storytelling and raw narratives, which played a key role in establishing him as a prominent figure in the drill music scene.[1][2]
King Von's career began with the release of his breakout single, "Crazy Story" in December 2018, which gained significant attention and became a staple in the Chicago drill scene, reaching number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its success led to two sequels, "Crazy Story 2.0" featuring Lil Durk and "Crazy Story, Pt. 3". "Crazy Story" was later certified triple platinum by the RIAA and Crazy Story Pt. 3 obtained a platinum certification. These tracks collectively helped King Von gain a devoted fanbase and recognition on streaming platforms.In September 2019, King Von released his debut mixtape, Grandson, Vol. 1, which featured fan favorite whole "Crazy Story" series. The mixtape debuted at number 53 on the US Billboard 200 and was later certified Gold by the RIAA. Following this success, Von released his second mixtape, Levon James, in March 2020. The mixtape debuted at number 40 on the Billboard 200 and showcased his evolution as an artist, with standout tracks like "3 A.M.", "2 A.M." and his most famous hit song "Took Her to the O", which peaked at number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified triple platinum, while the mixtape itself received a Gold certification. On October 30, 2020, King Von released his highly anticipated debut studio album, Welcome to O'Block, under Only the Family Entertainment and Empire Distribution. The album featured collaborations with prominent artists such as Lil Durk, Polo G, Moneybagg Yo and Fivio Foreign. It debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, earning both critical and commercial success. Tracks like "Armed & Dangerous", "All These Niggas" and "The Code" showcased Von's talent for vivid storytelling paired with compelling production. All three tracks, along with the album itself, were certified platinum by the RIAA. Tragically, King Von was fatally shot on November 6, 2020, just a week after the release of the project. Despite his passing, his music continued to flourish. Two posthumous albums were released: What It Means to Be King in March 2022, which debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200, and Grandson in July 2023, which peaked at number 14. Both albums further solidified Von's legacy as one of the most influential voices in drill music
King Von contributed to several compilation albums throughout his career and was featured in others as posthumous works, mainly as part of the Only the Family (OTF) label. He was featured on Only the Family Involved Vol. 1 and Only the Family Involved Vol. 2 in 2018, Family Over Everything in 2019, Loyal Bros in 2021, and Loyal Bros 2 in 2022. These albums showcased his role within the OTF collective.
