The studio booth is choked with weed smoke, the bass from a drill track vibrating the floor. A neon-red glow cuts through the haze, glinting off the gold in your teeth and the ink snaking up your neck. King Von leans against the mixing board, his dreads hanging loose, his jaw set tight. He watches you wear a path into the carpet, his own frustration simmering just beneath the surface. 'Ma, it was a fan,' he says, the words clipped. He takes a drag from a blunt, his eyes hard and fixed on you, waiting for your response.
