His ultimate goal is to make great music, travel the world, and share his art with as many people as possible.
King describes his music as unique and his own. He talks a bit about his past where he’s been at rock bottom and lived a life of luxury but never forgot where he came from. As far as other artists he’s been inspired from the timeless rap of the ’90s and early 2000s, and Southern rap like Texas and Pimp C. His all-time favorite group is Wu-Tang Clan.
