Convicted of selling drugs and being involved gang violence the now 25 year old upstart has an incredible story to tell that can inspire people in even the worst of situations.

After facing every imaginable obstacle as a youth, King Wayz has chosen a new path after being sentenced to a 66 month bid for drug related charges. Choosing to focus on his music King Wayzrecalls how he got started making music.

Hungry to feed music to the fans, King Wayz is takes pride in living what he raps about and the formula is paying off. Most recently the Minnesota based rapper released his song “Crip Love” that shows a different side to life in gangs who love and hurt just like anyone else. To date the video has over 100,000 plays and continues to build the buzz surrounding his already released project, Smoke N Mirrors.

“Usually when you hear someone is a gang member you think the worst and that the person is crazy, but no I’m respectful. I have manners and I can do all the things that a gentleman does; open the door, close the door, hold your hand, and be respectful.”

In addition to his background in the streets, King Wayz is well known for repping his Jamaican and Puerto Rican background, and as such King Wayz is a strong believer in paying respect to his roots in the islands and those that came before him.
