<p class="p1">It has been a little over a year since the unfortunate passing of King Von. However, his family and team are continuing to keep his legacy alive as they gear up to release his posthumous album.</p>
<p class="p1">According to <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/king-von-posthumous-album-first-single-dont-play-that-exclusive-1235026998/">Billboard</a></em>, his label announced on Friday that his next album &#8220;What It Means to Be King,&#8221; will be dropping on March 4th. This will be the follow-up to his debut album &#8220;Welcome To O&#8217;Block,&#8221; which was released the week before he was tragically gunned down. Along with the announcement of the new album, his label also released the first official song from the project.</p>
<p class="p1">King Von&#8217;s new single &#8220;<em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_JF_3PB4F0">Don&#8217;t Play That</a></em>,&#8221; features 21 Savage. Fans got the first listen of the song back in October 2020 when Von previewed the song on his Instagram. At the time, he asked fans who could they hear being featured on the song.</p>
