King Von: The Game Changer Behind Focus Rich Streetwear’s Rise

In the heart of Chi-Town’s concrete jungle, where the struggle is as palpable as the echoes of the city’s daily grind, lived a legend—King Von. Straight outta the Windy City’s gritty streets, Von hustled his way up from the bottom to become a heavyweight in the rap game.

From his early days on the South Side, Von’s talent was undeniable. With raw lyrics that painted vivid pictures of street life and gritty realities, he captivated audiences with his storytelling prowess. His debut mixtape, “Grandson, Vol. 1,” propelled him into the spotlight, earning him widespread acclaim and setting the stage for a meteoric rise to fame.

But amidst the glitz and glamour of the music industry, Von remained grounded, never forgetting the struggles that shaped him. It was this humility and authenticity that endeared him to so many, and it was this same spirit that drew the attention of the founders of Focus Rich Clothing.

Impressed by their designs and inspired by their hustle, Von eagerly accepted the offer. The team at Focus Rich sent him some samples of their latest products, and to their delight, Von liked their hustle. So much so, that he couldn’t help but shout them out while performing onstage at one of his shows, telling the crowd about the fresh gear he was rocking from Focus Rich.

For Focus Rich and co-founder EveryoneLovesIce, Von’s endorsement was a dream come true. His verbal support catapulted them into the spotlight, earning them recognition from fans and industry insiders alike. Soon artists like multi-platinum artists like DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia, Young Dolph, the Island Boys, Nicki Minaj, YBN Nahmir, and XXXtencion would be co-signing the brand.

But more than just giving them street credit in the industry, Von’s foresight for Focus Rich Clothing was a testament to their shared values of authenticity and hustle. His working relationship with star rapper Lil Durk further underscored his influence in the hip-hop community, solidifying his status as a trendsetter and tastemaker.

Brief considerations of asking him to do a collaboration before the events of Atlanta took place that fateful night. Despite the tragic loss, Focus Rich remains grateful for the opportunity to have crossed paths with King Von.

Today, Focus Rich Clothing stands as one of the hottest rising streetwear brands in the industry. While their collaboration with King Von may not have happened, his impact on fashion lives on.
