O-Block Louie on Friendship with King Von, Von Started Rapping After Beating Murder Charge (Part 1)

all righty here we go today we have o black Louie who was with King vaugh at the time of his tragic passing Louie was shot in the head with one bullet and is now recovering after 10 operations welcome to Vlad TV it's a pleasure to be here hey man I'm glad you're here right now um a very very tragic situation which you luckily survived yeah well it's your first time here I want to start in the very beginning so you grew up in Southside Chicago yeah okay so what was that like in the the 2010s I mean you know it was it just how it was it's it's self-explanatory the same stuff that's going on right now okay and you had uh seven siblings yeah right two on your dad side and five on your mom's side yeah I got a brother too though oh okay okay so uh what was that like growing up uh were both your parents around or you grew up with just your mom I mean I grew up with just my mom but my daddy was in the mix but you know I grew up with my mom okay and you actually knew Chief Keef fairly early I mean yeah you know he was he was around okay so you were born in oblock you moved there at one point no I'm really from the C building but once the C building got tow down then that's when I came to Parkway okay and how old were you when that happened K met building went down it's it's been a little minute like like a minute okay so what year did you actually meet King Von uh I met King Von probably in like 2009 2010 okay was he rapping back then or no that's the thing he was he was never known for rapping but once he got out of jail he took a try and he just blew up okay and we're going to get to that point you know I just want to kind of set up a timeline of what everything happened so you're living in oblock and then Chief Keefe who you knew back then in 2012 he drops don't like yeah yeah do you remember how big that was when he dropped that that was one of the hottest ones that was definitely one of the hottest ones okay because I mean Chicago hip-hop has been around forever I mean you go back to Crucial Conflict you can go back to twister you go back to Common but but the type of hip-hop you know Chicago drill really wasn't on the map until Chief Keef came out when he dropped don't like and uh Love Sosa and I feel like suddenly there was this big big Spotlight on Chicago yeah what do you think changed after you dropped that I mean you know he he he opened the for a lot of [ __ ] that's that's that's one thing I can't say like all the stuff that to happen but if you look at it he still open the door for a lot of [ __ ] right and before then you've never heard of oock but he really put oock on the map hey for real now do you know OD Perry yeah okay were you guys close I mean you know he was he he was one of the ones that I was close with you know he was he was definitely one of the ones I was close with when he got killed how'd you feel I mean you know that was the first loss so it hit a little different cuz that was really one of the first losses but you know how everybody well I ain't going to say everybody but how a certain person will feel when somebody die you know can't can't really give you an explanation on it but you know the same way you would feel if somebody die that you close to and that was the first person that actually died that you were close to yeah right cuz 2011 you were like 14 at the time yeah somewhere now okay I mean I mean he made such an impact that that whole area was called oblock after him yeah yeah man I'm sorry for your loss yeah thanks man but you know we all got to go through it okay so like I said Chief Keef drops 20 thou you know don't like in 2012 he signs his major deal he blows up and then there's this big Spotlight on Chicago hip-hop and you know you start seeing a lot of different artists start to pop up and everything else like that now before then there was always beef in hip-hop but people weren't talking about smoking their their dead enemies and stuff like that like smoking Tuka and everything else like that when you were you guys already talking like that before the music I mean no we definitely wouldn't okay so when you start hearing that in the music and then it spills into social media how did you you feel about that I mean you know at a time it was a trend but as you get old then see like man this this ain't what it is that's just what it is but you know some people don't get it until it's too late and then you got something that do get it so well 2014 King vau wasn't really rapping yet but he ends up getting charged with one count of first-degree murder and two uh attempted murder yeah were you were you guys hanging out when he got picked up I mean yeah we was we was hanging out okay how did he take it when he got arrested no i w i w with him the day he got arrested though right okay well you weren't with him the day but I mean did he feel like okay I'm about to get arrested like you know it's looking bad for me or was it a total shock when he got picked up I mean I ain't going to say it was a shocking but you know at the end of the day man you know when you do something even though he got found not guilty for it I mean that's just something you got to man up to you know okay so now King Von is locked up do you know Big Mike I mean I do but I I rather not speak be on him for real for real okay fair enough because Big Mike essentially testified against King Bon yeah I I rather not speak on that okay when when King Von was locked up because he was locked up from 2014 to 2017 that's three years did you guys keep in contact at all I mean a little bit a little bit I ain't going to say like all the way but you know we we kepin contact okay and then in December of 2017 King Von gets acquitted of all his charges yeah and he comes home were you with him when he first comes home no I wasn't okay so when when did you guys link up again I mean you know see vanon he was he was he was just different you know but we we we linked up once he came to the block cuz the thing about it he wanted to go right to the block which I ain't understand why but he wanted to go right to the block and to this day I still don't wonder why so what do you mean he he wanted to go straight to the block to oock yeah okay but but he's from there right I mean but you just got out H okay so I mean if anything you should be trying to do something else right go on vacation or something or something okay so now he starts hanging out Oak again so how long before he gets out did he does he start actually taking the rapping seriously I ain't going to lie him and Zoo head made a song and he was take he he was really taking it serious but he start he start taking it serious after he made like I want to say like his his uh first three songs and then everybody got to tell him like man you need to take this s and he took his s and look what he was able to accomplish before he got up out of here right so like the early songs were like beat that body with Zoo yeah right that came out in 2018 and then war with us came out yeah why hit right so how long after he started like seriously rapping does Lil Dirk sign him you know that part I don't really know cuz that's his business so that's another thing I can't speak on because I don't really know so I can't say okay did you know Dirk I mean yeah I know Dirk okay but you weren't really close no not not how I was with v okay but at one point Dirk does sign vau and at that point Dirk was on fire so suddenly everything raises up see that's what I'm saying I don't know if van signs to him or not so I can't say okay I see what you mean but but they do start to click up and they start doing songs and pro they definitely was clicking up and doing what they was doing but far S I don't know if v s took okay yeah I don't know what the what the paperwork is but I'm just saying V became part of OTF and now he's doing songs projects mixtapes everything else like that with dirt make it seem like he sing to him I guess yeah I I don't know the paperwork but regardless but they're they're working together yeah
