King Von Is Reportedly Dead At 26 After Being Shot At A Nightclub In Atlanta
EMPIRE The rising Chicago rapper was reportedly involved in an altercation with another rapper that involved a shootout with police. …

Chicago rapper King Von is reportedly dead at the age of 26 after being shot at an Atlanta nightclub, according to sources close to the emerging star. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that five people were shot at Monaco Hookah Lounge, with three killed and two injured. According to witnesses, two groups of people got into an argument in the parking lot which became physical. The altercation escalated to shooting, drawing the attention of two police officers working near the lounge. Gunfire was exchanged with the officers, leaving three people injured and one in critical condition.
Rumors flew online in the aftermath saying that the two crews involved in the altercation were those of King Von and local rapper Quando Rondo. Those reports have thus far been unconfirmed. The officers were not injured and police didn’t know whether the officers actually shot anyone. Meanwhile, Fox 5 Atlanta reports a sixth person injured by a fleeing vehicle; police are searching for the driver. Von’s death was confirmed by a number of sources close to the rapper, including Shade 45 producer Justin Hunte and producer ChopsquadDJ, who produced Von’s hit “Take Her To The O.”
Just received tragic confirmation.
Rest in peace, King Von.
Gone way too soon.

Before the incident, Von was rapidly rising through rap’s ranks to become a hot commodity over the past year. As a member of Lil Durk’s Only The Family label, he was co-signed by one of the Windy City’s most prominent hip-hop stars and released two projects in 2020, the Levon James mixtape released in March and his debut album Welcome To O-Block, which released just a week ago.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”
Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.
“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.
The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.

J’mall expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own on “Unattainable”
J’mall’s latest single, “Unattainable,” expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own. The song explores the emotional void caused by constant comparison rather than motivation.
“Unattainable” is about realizing that no matter how hard one works to meet others’ expectations, the reward will never be satisfying. J’mall explores the stress of “keeping up with the Joneses” and the exhaustion of comparing yourself to standards that weren’t meant for you.
The song’s honesty resonates, the message doesn’t feel preachy or polished. It feels personal, like J’mall is sharing life lessons. The record’s quiet strength is its embrace of individuality and personal responsibility without pretending it’s easy.
