- ↑ Paul Thompson, November 9, 2020 "King Von Was Building Something Bigger Than Chicago Drill. He Deserved to See It Through.", Vulture, Von’s music in some ways represented a second (or even third) wave of the sound — one that had become more nationally popular and legible to labels... while incarcerated became a hallmark of his sound, and Chicago drill’s latest wave... the drill prodigy also from an area known locally as the O-Block. Von went to the same high school as G Herbo... Those sonic cues placed Von firmly in his city’s drill lineage at a point when that scene had reached such a fever pitch that it was being imitated across the country.

Grandson Vol. 1, which stays close to the classic drill sound, combining blown-out beats with blunt-force effects.
