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.

Adam was out here interviewing a real live villain

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

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

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

2024 who’s still here?

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

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

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

King von really do be sounding like gangster Michael Jackson

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

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!

Adam: Does your ankle monitor stay in the back of your mind sometimes? Von: hell no it jus be tied to my ankle what you mean.

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

Every time I watch one of king Avon interview is like I don’t want it to end. This man would have been one of this rawest rapper in the industry. He was outspoken, truthful, his voice was out of this world like it would put you to sleep.

Dude Is everything. Woke up missing him today 🤦‍♂️🕊️

i’ve voted him every hour for xxl

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

This is a classic. Great interview Adam. 💯

A young O Block legend,dam I wish we could have been able to see him reach his full potential!

I love the way dude talk. He has that chi town southside slick talk

Really hated to see such a talent leave without reaching his full potential he was just getting started he was really made for music he had the full package without trying he could've been one of the greatest RIP all the fallen brother's king von and Duck rest up greats.

Von really one of the most iconic rappers with his flow and he fo shure motivatet and inspired me … R.I.P. KING VON 🙏🏻💙 He a real rap king 🫡

This gotta be the coolest dude Adam ever interviewed.

It’s crazy and dope asf how Von actually shows respect and says that Durk the one that out him on most niggas get out on and then forget who put them on

He’s not the typical gangster rapper despite his rep as being the “serial killer” rapper. He actually seems really friendly and gentle personality, which actually makes him scarier if what is said about him is true. I was expecting a way way different personality. He even has a kind face. It’s sad that in 2023 humans are still born into a life of poverty and violence. One day I hope we figure it out.

He wasn't a saint, but he was exactly who he was. & the best story teller. I will always have love for Von 💜

See how von actually intelligent

anyone here after von passed:( LLKV💔🕊

rappers podcasts are without a doubt the best thing ever to come out

Coolest podcast in this universe, Adam you a real one , appreciate you fam. PS this was the best formula BTW .

Even a year later, his uniqueness is what brings me back. Rest In Peace

I’m very thankful for you working close to some of these artist !! Thank you so much!! RIP KING VON 🤲🏾

LLKV…crazy that I recently discovered you. You were such a diverse person but through all in this interview I see a kind soul.❤️

Unique........Best of the best - Considering I first heard his music @4 in the morning. Biggest and heaviest lyrics ever recorded for the last 10Yrs. KV God bless fact your talent lives on through your music......Thank u for the music.

Adam: “is there anyone u want to shout out” Von: “Shout out 4nem”😂😂😂

He said I ain’t have no beat , wtf yall want me to do ☠️☠️☠️

i like how he murdered a bunch of people but humans be so swooned by charismatic people they just point out all his positive traits lmao. he's so handsome and so charming. never mind that he lacks empathy, is a bully is a killer. people love psychopaths and sociopaths shits crazy.

I'm glad he balled out instead of saving. He is sorely missed. I miss him like Tupac, both kept it all the way real.

It's good that Adam can have a conversation with von about cases and everything and it doesn't come across as interrogation. And also he doesn't only focus on cases he just gets it out the way. And asks more about how it affects you more than the actual details. Glad could never

He is what he is but he speaks the truth and it’s not for everyone but we do what we do

Adam brah this was an excellent interview man 💯 I bet you won’t have too many like this do to Vons passing 🔥🫡

Damn...i feel like Von still had a million untold stories 😢😔 this really was a very interesting setting and interview, he was himself and feeling himself 💯 real gangster

“How you tote yo gun, yo pants tight as hell.” 😂🤣 R.I.P. Duck n Von even he had laugh at that bar

This dude coming through humble. Respect.

King Von was different, he be the realest and most loyal nigga out there, looking out for his fam and everything His music be different too, he was the 🐐at everything, beat ,flow bars, storytelling, he was and still is the best May u rest in paradise king🙏

I fw this interview tbh. Von hella funny lowkey and kept it real on a lot of shit. Can't do nothing but respect it

Yo Adam let me find out u from 63rd my guy 💀😂

Very intelligent, quiet guy who knew how to press that button when he needed to. Such an incredibly talented young man. RIP VON! Truly a loss in so many ways.

Not a fan of no jumper at all so I avoided this interview for years. Gotta give it up to Adam. This is the best interview I’ve seen Avon have. Great work folk

When he talked about Kobe dying and saying its like it wasn’t supposed to happen. That’s exactly how a lot of people feel like about Von.

You can tell he loved durk just the way he talks about durk bringing him to the interviews

R.I.P the G.O.A.T of Drill. Bro dropped 3 classic albums from the other side.

omega drip made the best King Von bday reaction ❤️👑❤️👑❤️👑

Adam "thats crazy" 22

Man I love this guy. I never want his interviews to end, I be counting down.

He’s the Man! a Man’s Man! fa sure , he definitely a legend wish he was still here, my favorite rapper of all time!!! His Music is so Raw and his flow is the Best!!!

Once again rewatching a no jumper interview after they’ve passed 😔

😂 durk n von know damn well they was still seeing eachother

watching this after the doc hits different.

the ending was so fitting😭😭 just sirens and then von going “stop playin” 😳 LMFAO

When he said I ain’t a ppl person I felt that

Out of all of the new era artists, Von really got my ear (pause). He had things to say, and told stories to teach lessons. Dude was a legend in the making.

999. GOAT. Wish chris lon would drop a juice video every month. U know how many epic freestyles he has on film. ❤

Bless this Young Man 4 Life He was truly ahead of his time Not all of us was born little house on the prairie 😜You are truly a product of ur environment it's only if u can change it &Help others but true honest is always best policy 🌹🌠🙏 RIP K VON

“It’s love in Atlanta”... That got me. Rip grandson ❤️🕊

everything he saying about kobe is how i feel about his death. longlive grandson

Still miss folks...in 2022!!!! The realest, King Von 👊

It's so hard to accept we're losing so many talented individuals. 💔

Adam the realist interviewer, gets to know the artists and askes questions we want to know

He really highlights the complexities, intricacies and dimensions of the human experience...... such a wide spectrum of interesting contradictions within one being. It's actually very fascinating. I never knew if him while living.... can still remember asking my son about him upon hearing his name when he was murdered. As is recent, I'm kinda fixated. He has an interesting story for sure.

I never really knew his music untill he was gone but man was a musical genius R.I.P king von

As crazy as a person he was Von had a heart and I believe he was genuine. It's sad he didn't get to experience his full career. Man lived by loyalty until the the end wish others stood that way,

Von brought drill music back and was gonna dominate 2021 Longlive Grandson

he explain so well without dropping any info

That intro track 🔥.

Man I never knew who Von was but now looking at how he speaks softly but still very confident. The embodiment of Speak softly & carry a big stick. RIP King Von

Vlad is from 63rd !!!

I can't imagine how his people felt that knew him personally when he passed. Here I that never even knew him still feel sad

Thought of Von and came back 3 years to watch this again

I really loved Vons music, personality, and his love for his homies and family. There is a video of him sharing stacks with his homies once he started making it. He is also raw and just real with no fake shit in this interview as well...RIP. Way too young.

Very Grateful That I Got To Meet This Man, Very Cool And Down To Earth. Fly High And Rest Easy Von 🕊🤍✨

when the ambulance drives by 'Stop playing" dudes wild

hearing him talk about how he felt after kobe…then him passing a few months later😔

Nobody: Old King Von: yeah yeah yeah yeah Lmaooooo dope interview tho! Keep that fire music comin

Adam22 “imagine shooting a girl” Torylanz “hold my beer “

Im Jus Here To Hear Folkz Voice 💜

Legends Never Die RIP 🙏🏽 Von!!! ❤

"It aint about gettin famous at all.. I am really tryin get all my homies sm money" Von was real nicca RIP King 👑

This is a godly interview we’ve been needing

“but ian goin like that man, fs ian goin like that” man long live king von bro 🕊️

For real. That Burberry shirt he’s wearing 🔥🔥. I love Burberry and especially that color/pattern scheme.

i just hope Von don't do a interview with Vlad😭😭cause he gon get him caught up

RIP Von.. so fucking talented.. so creative.. wild to hear and see how reserved and passive he is then hear his drill shit..amazing RIP

Can’t believe how cool he seem considering all the bodies he got. He’s the embodiment of this era’s real street rappers.
