King Von tragically passed away in 2020, but it appears his team and Empire are preparing to deliver a second posthumous album.
Von’s manager, 100K Tracks, teased that another LP could be on the way for later this year, but looked to fans for ideas on what to title the project.
“Yup it’s that time again @kingvonfrmdao ?/?/23 Album Ready @nima_empire @ghazi @empire @otf @_gbg_gbg_ @100kmgmt @__tmac__1 @_djbandz – what would von name it though,” he wrote.
Plenty of King Von fans excitedly welcomed the idea of more music from the drill rapper after the warm fan reception to 2022’s What It Means To Be King project.
“Album name : LONG LIVE THE KING,” one person suggested while a Von fan page declared the posthumous body of work to be the album of the year even before its arrival.
What It Means to Be King debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 last March with 59,000 total album equivalent units in the first week.
Meanwhile, King Von’s name recirculated in the news last week when a witness speaking to the FBI claimed that the “Crazy Story” rapper placed a $100,000 bounty on FBG Duck.
According to rap blog Chicago Scene 88, an FBI report cites an unnamed witness they spoke to in August 2020, just weeks after Duck’s murder, who stated that King Von allegedly first offered $50,000 for anyone who killed Duck, before later upping the reward to $100,000.
Duck was murdered after being ambushed by four assailants while shopping in Chicago on August 4, 2020.
The witness, who claims the OTF rhymer celebrated FBG Duck’s murder by buying everyone in O’Block a new chain, also identified the alleged shooters, including Marcus “Muwop” Smart, who the witness claims conducted several murders on behalf of O’Block.
King Von was shot and killed following a skirmish with Quando Rondo’s crew on November 6, 2020, outside an Atlanta hookah lounge. He was 26 years old.
No one cares
” tragically passed away in 2020″…. a killer getting killed isn’t tragic.
For sure man . Why do people praise scum like that .
U got it fucked up, the man didn’t wake up an do that, he suffered losing every friendbrother that he grew up with. And not in a normal way, they all were murdered. He was just the one that said enough and unleashed on every person responsible for someone he lost…. Talk bout bodies, I gotta few, 4+3, 3+2!!! You can only take so much from a man b4 he takes back with a vengeance
yup
Lul Tim’s better
Little Tim is a hoe bro that’s why he had to pull that gun out and shoot King Von could I was scared and he was beating his homeboys ass so he had to shoot the man because they couldn’t handle them hands
😂😂gtfo goofy
Lil Tim is dog shit
F-ck Von and f-ck 100ktrack. Many of his artists got killed or locked up for serious offences such as murder. I guess in that sense Von signing with him made sense but this sneaky b-stard still gets to eat off him.
You eat balls

You Must be listening a lot to Uzi cause you don’t know what the fuck your talking about. Oh wait, whatever your stupid name is, says a lot. Nevermind youngin lol 😆
You are retarded af first off aint no more FBG and second King Von was one of the best rappers of this time. Shit half the shit thats out is trash where almost all of King Von’s shit were bangers if not all of them. Duck a whole hoe, he shouldn’t have been doing all that dissing… He told him to slide so Von did just that. Shouldn’t have played with his gangster. Niggas scared to come outside when i pop outside gave niggas whole headshots and still i hunt them down……. VON

Aye RIP to King Von. On King David why my boi had to go. I know there’s a expiration date on each of us but the quote is true ” The Good Dies Young”. I hope when his management releases his 2nd Posthumous album it will have plenty 🔥🔥🔥. Hopefully has songs wit Lil Baby, Pooh Shiesty more songs with Melly and obviously Lil Durk.
