KINGMOSTWANTED wasn’t even old enough to buy a pack of cigarettes when his first hit single, “In My City,” made him one of the most promising young artists in the Inland Empire, an exurb of Los Angeles often overshadowed due to its close proximity to the entertainment capital. Since then, the now 19-year-old artist has proved he’s more than a one-hit-wonder by amassing millions of views on Tik-Tok with a steady stream of stripped-down, West Coast bangers, backed by a crew of creatives that show no sign of slowing down. KING gained further traction after his song “How To Ride,” was featured on the soundtrack for the ninth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise. It originated as one of three songs recorded with producer Uce Lee and had almost been forgotten before it was plucked from obscurity by the folks at Atlantic Records. The video shows KING in a dimly-lit garage smoking and surrounded by dancing women. He’s awkward the way young people often are, yet strapped with the confidence of someone who clearly had to learn to grow up fast in harsh environments. KING released An Everlasting King in 2019, featuring “In My City,” and “8K Anthem,” with Trill Ryan and MCM Raymond. His next album featured the massive hit “Different Varieties,” as well as the remix with Mike Sherm. His most recent project was 2020’s FRESHMAN YEAR, which saw KING cleverly interpolating the famous XXL Freshman list with artists of his own choosing, including Quin NFN and L.A.’s AzChike
