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.

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👑

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

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

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.

RIPVON dude had a trait that is almost extinct now a days. LOYALTY. the real ones leaving so soon. it’s heartbreaking man.

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

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 🫡

His voice is sooo asmr material! Love listening to him, his stories are vivid!

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

One thing I’ll give Von, he’s a respectful dude. He always looked at Adam to answer/listen to questions. Even if he picked up his phone he would set it down. Not alotta these guys have that respect. He’s a real one learned from the OGs frfr

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.

This is a classic. Great interview Adam. 💯

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

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.

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

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

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