After losing the rapper to gun violence back in 2020, fans are celebrating Von's talents once again.

It was nearly a year and a half ago when the tragic news about King Von's death was shared. The OTF rapper was a rising voice in Drill, and as Lil Durk's protegé, Von was well on his way to becoming an international superstar. However, in November 2020, the 26-year-old was gunned down in Atlanta during an altercation, and his murder has been the subject of several tense moments in Hip Hop.

Durk, along with Von's loved ones, has been committed to keeping his legacy alive and on Friday (March 4), we received the Chicago rapper's posthumous album, What It Means To Be King. The 19-track effort hosts notable features from G Herbo, 21 Savage, Fivio Foreign, Moneybagg Yo, Dreezy, Boss Top, DqFrmDaO, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Tee Grizzley, and of course, Lil Durk.

Stream What It Means To Be King and let us know what you think of this one.
