Southern California born and raised, KinG Pen embodies the soul and spirit of “the golden age” hip-hop, while still effortlessly navigating today’s music scene. Having drawn comparisons to Ice Cube and Scarface because of his methodical flow, storytelling ability, presence, and expert song writing, King is humbled as they both top the list of his influences. However, a special place has been reserved for the incomparable Tupac Shakur as KinG’s biggest musical influence. Additional names such as The Notorious B.I.G, Nas, Jay-Z, Bun-B, Andre 3000, and Lupe Fiasco round off his list of influences. Having been a songwriter since the age of 14, KinG has developed both a veteran’s presence in the booth, and a shooter’s touch at live performances. This is evident, as he’s seamlessly shared stages with hip-hop heavyweights such as Talib Kweli, The Game, Slum Village, and Cypress Hill. More recently, KinG Pen has been on tour with Chicago's king of drill music Lil Durk, and has also headlined/spearheaded his own company tour with MMG's fiery Miami spitter, Gunplay. A thunderous delivery, witty wordplay, meaningful content, and delivery are the jewels that adorn the halls of this King’s treasure room. Each of these attributes is used to precision in order to further his career goals. King Pen works to distinguish himself as a professional that cherishes rap music, and works tirelessly at perfecting his craft. The Last Days The Almighty EP God Bars
