[ edit ]
On November 6, 2020, King Von died from being shot outside a hookah lounge in Atlanta, Georgia, exactly one week after the release of his previous album, Welcome to O'Block (2020).[5] The same day of his death, American rapper Pooh Shiesty released his single, "Back in Blood ", which features Von's Only the Family label boss, fellow rapper Lil Durk . Von made his first posthumous cameo appearance in the music video for the song, which was released on January 2, 2021, in which the title of his album was revealed.[6]

The lead single of the album, "Grandson for President", was released on April 29, 2020.[7] The second single, "Don't Play That ", a collaboration with Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage , was released on February 4, 2022, exactly one month before the album.[8] The same day, Von's estate shared the title of the album and its release date.[9] On February 28, 2022, they shared the cover art of the album and put the album up on Apple Music for pre-order.[10] The third single, "War ", was released on March 2, 2022.[11] The tracklist was revealed on Apple Music the following day. A music video for "Get It Done" with OMB Peezy was released on August 9, 2022, in honor of what would have been King Von's 28th birthday.[12] [13]

What It Means to Be King debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 59,000 album-equivalent units , 55,000 came from 79 million in streams, and 4,000 pure album sales.[14] The new album is the second top 10 for King Von, who first reached the top 10 with his debut studio album, Welcome to O’Block , which climbed from 13 to 5 (its peak) on the Nov. 21, 2020-dated chart, following news of his death.[14] [15]
