King Los has recently announced his departure from Bad Boy Records.
The Baltimore Emcee was on Bad Boy on 2 different occasions, once in 2005 for 3 years until his deal was disbanded. Also he got resigned in 2012 at the peak of Bad Boy roster revision along with French Montana, Red Café and MGK. While under the Bad Boy imprint he released the 2013 mixtape “Becoming King”.
Los visited Sway on “Sway in the Morning” and opened up about his decision to leave his long time record label.
“I went to his crib and we talked,” King Los says on Sway in the Morning. “We sat poolside and we just chopped it up. I told him, ’There’s a lot of miscommunication when you don’t communicate.’ I said, ‘I just gotta be more vocal about things and he was just like, ‘Yeah.’ Basically, I still have the whole entire Puff engine, his influence or whatever I need, if I come to him with a plan. I can do whatever I want, but I just had to let him know, ‘I gotta get out here and get this ball rolling.’ I gotta do it because I’m just like a special person. For me, it ain’t on nobody. If I sit on the label for five years, I did that. I don’t look at it how people look at it. You’re a man. You’ve got to do what you got to do in this world. I came from nothing, so I understand that and I know that it takes 10 times nothing to make something. So, I’m not going to get to this level and just be stagnant or anything. I just got to keep it movin’ in a way that satisfies me because when things don’t feel right in my heart, I can’t perform them.”
Los also speaks about his relationship with Diddy
“He’s in a mentoring kind of thing when you’re around him, just for you to soak up as much game, as much knowledge and wisdom as you can,” King Los says. “You’re less talkative and more trying to receive the things.”
King Los is slated to release his new project entitled “Zero Gravity 2” on March 24th, now that he is a free agent we wonder if he plans on following a indie route or going major again.
