The discography of American rapper King Von (1994–2020) includes three studio albums (including two posthumous), two mixtapes, thirty-one singles, with ten of them being featured collaborations, and thirty-three music videos during his career. His work is known for his storytelling ability, which helped establish him as a prominent figure in the drill music scene.
King Von's career began gaining momentum with the release of his breakout single, "Crazy Story" in December 2018. The song was eventually remixed with friend and labelmate Lil Durk, which helped the song reach number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100. Due to the success of the song and its remix, an additional sequel, titled "Crazy Story, Pt. 3" was released. "Crazy Story" was later certified triple platinum by the RIAA, while Crazy Story Pt. 3 obtained a platinum certification. In September 2019, Von released his debut mixtape, Grandson, Vol. 1, which included the three installments of the "Crazy Story" series. The mixtape peaked at number 53 on the US Billboard 200 and was later certified gold by the RIAA. Following this success, Von released his second mixtape, Levon James, in March 2020. The mixtape peaked at number 40 on the Billboard 200 and received gold certification by the RIAA. Additionally, the mixtape included the track "Took Her to the O", which peaked at number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified triple platinum.
On October 30, 2020, King Von released his debut studio album, Welcome to O'Block, under Only the Family Entertainment and Empire Distribution. The album featured collaborations with prominent artists such as Lil Durk, Polo G, Moneybagg Yo and Fivio Foreign. It peaked at number 5 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, earning both critical and commercial success. Multiple tracks from the project, such as "Armed & Dangerous", "All These Niggas" and "The Code", were all certified platinum by the RIAA. King Von was fatally shot on November 6, 2020, just a week after the project's release.
After his passing, two posthumous albums were released: What It Means to Be King in March 2022, and Grandson in July 2023. The albums peaked at numbers 2 and 14 on the Billboard 200 respectively. King Von contributed to several compilation albums throughout his career and was featured in others as posthumous works, mainly as part of the Only the Family (OTF) label. He was featured on Only the Family Involved Vol. 1 and Only the Family Involved Vol. 2 in 2018, Family Over Everything in 2019, Loyal Bros in 2021, and Loyal Bros 2 in 2022.
