King Von tragically passed away last week as he was shot and killed during an altercation in Atlanta. His death was a sad loss for the hip-hop world as he was an artist with a ton of potential, who still had a lot to give. Prior to his passing, Von dropped his project Welcome To O'Block, which received massive praise upon its release. His storytelling abilities were second to none, and he had a knack for gripping people with his bars.
In this week's edition of our TIDAL Wave playlist, King Von deservingly gets heavy rotation as the first three tracks are dedicated in his honor. Here, you will find "Crazy Story," "Why He Told," and "I Am What I Am" which are all great songs to get acquainted with the artist if you haven't already.
There were plenty of other dope projects to release recently, and our staff has certainly been listening to a diverse array of music. For instance, Busta Rhymes also gets heavy rotation on the playlist as Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God has proven to be a hit among fans. "Look Over Your Shoulder" with Kendrick Lamar seems to be the standout thus far although the Rick Ross-assisted "Master Fard Muhammad" is also proving to be a fan-favorite. Following the Presidential Election, YG and Nipsey Hussle's "FDT" has returned to the playlist, all while NAV received a placement thanks to his Emergency Tsunami effort, "Friends & Family."
Take a look below at what our staff has been listening to, and let us know which songs have made it to your own playlists this past week.
