Dayvon Daquan Bennett (August 9, 1994 – November 6, 2020) This was the real King Von. A real street nigga. Somewhere along the way that term has been confused with a guy that is reckless, doesn’t care about much and does anything to get where he wants to go. A guy that disregards the law, takes lives and is unable to change. By November 2020, King Von was a rapper on the rise, that could’ve easily settled into a life free of whatever troubles he was conditioned to think was a way of life. He beat a murder charge, came home to a friend already established in the music industry (Lil Durk), that wanted nothing more than to see him succeed, his credibility attached and etched in stone, a look that fit the part, a following inherited from all the attention his side of town was receiving, and most importantly, a natural talent for music and charisma to be everything required of a star in today’s hip hop world. But with all that, also by November 2020, he was killed in the streets, virtually alone, holding on to the last bit of his life. To me King Von was well on his way to becoming the best story telling artist in the game and household name. What happened? Here are 3 reasons King Von’s growth as a musician was stunted.

I’m an Old White Dude Who Loves K-Pop Music
Yes, it’s true. I love K-pop, even though it’s highly unusual for someone in my baby boomer generation to get into that kind of music. Plus, it’s mostly sung in the Korean language, but with some English interspersed here and there. But the dancing, oh, the dancing. It’s so exciting to watch the amazingly choreographed dance routines, which are fun and entertaining as accompaniments to the songs.

It is perhaps understandable and in retrospect inevitable that after releasing two albums as strong as Sweet Baby James and Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon that the quality would taper off with James Taylor's fourth album. Entering A&R Recording Studio in New York and Clover Recorders in Summer 1972, Taylor and producer Peter Asher certainly had a lot to live up to.
