K I N G is the first-born child of Lawanda M. King and Keith L. Being the oldest brother to 4 sisters and 2 brothers, K I N G was a boss. Throughout life, music was his first love from day one. Living in a place like Miami, the music scene was a huge influence on him, the sounds, the grooves, it inspired him to rap. He started off rapping when he was in elementary school. Soon after he received a

chance to rap on the school’s morning show, he was in the 4th grade while attending Westview Elementary School. “I went by a name giving to me at birth by my dad (Big Black), “Lil Black” and he used to call my brother Mild. Like Black & Mild.” From there I took off with studying different artist and expanding my sounds. I have been in a few groups including: Murder Three Thrillers, Da Bottom Boyz, Go Get Em Boyz. I branched off and started doing clean music after a conversation with Steve “Lucky Ace” Cashmere of Lucky Stones Music Group in 2011. I kept working on my music even when I was overseas in Germany. “A lot of music was written, and I had a fun time recording in a different country.” I have always been a trapper even as a kid, but I grew up in the church. So of course, the first music I put out was trapping music, heavily influenced by Gucci Mane and Zaytoven, Trick Daddy, Uncle Luke, Uncle Al, Rick Ross, Pimp C, Bun B, 8 Ball and MJG, and all the local artists in Dade County. Back on May 31, 2018 I was in Atlanta when my car was shot into from the back. “When I heard the shot, I immediately ducked, and the bullet was blocked by an angel inches away from the back of my head. I remember praying on 285 asking God to keep us protected as we drove around the city and to keep us shielded from any hurt, harm or danger. From that day I made up my mind that God has spared me too many times not to give the praise and glory that he deserves, with the talent that he gave me. I elevated to another level when I got a deeper relationship with God and that’s when I was promoted from Lil Black to B L A C K K I N G. It was time to spread the word that God is the truth and how he is so good to us even when we don’t deserve it. I was always encouraged by my mentor Emmanuel Dutes, that if I did music giving God the praise and honor, that God will take me to newer heights, and look how God has been blessing me.
