King Los on Baltimore: “You Can’t Put a Lid On a Volcano”
Seven months after signing to RCA Records, King Los is gearing to drop his street album, God, Money, War, this spring. The MC has already released two songs off the project—"Can't Fade Us" featuring Ty Dolla $ign and "War" featuring Marsha Ambrosius—both of which showcase his growth as an artist since his days on Bad Boy Records. However, as he began to release the material, his hometown of Baltimore erupted in riots and protests following the funeral of Freddie Gray at the end of April. Gray, a 25-year-old African-American man who died on April 19, 2015 from injuries to his spinal cord allegedly at the hands of six Baltimore police officers, has put Los' hometown squarely in the headlines for the past few weeks.
