King Von Disses Akon Over 6ix9ine Song

Tekashi 6ix9ine surprised a lot of people when he was able to secure a number of features for his new music, grabbing Nicki Minaj, Akon, and others. Because those artists chose to work with 69 though, many, like YG, have refused to ever collaborate with them again.

King Von has officially joined that group, dissing Akon over his involvement in 6ix9ine’s post-snitching career.

With all of the times that 6ix9ine has come for Chicago, even taking a trip to O Block this summer to antagonize Lil Durk, Lil Reese, and others, King Von has no interest in hearing from the rainbow-haired-rapper again. In fact, he’s extending that to his collaborators, coming after the legend Akon on Twitter.

“I’ll never forgive Akon for making that song with that rat ass n***a,” wrote Von, refusing to use Tekashi’s name. “@Akon yo Usain Bolt looking ass.”

When a fan suggested that 6ix9ine is living rent-free inside of his head, Von replied: “Who? Get yo d*ck s*cking ass on. U love everybody scary ass n***a.”

Loyalty plays a major part in the lives of young Chicago rappers, including King Von, so for him to take this sort of extreme reaction to 6ix9ine is not surprising.

Tonight, Von will be releasing his debut album, titled Welcome To O Block, with features from Polo G, Lil Durk, Dreezy, Moneybagg Yo, Fivio Foreign, and more.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.

Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
