Von, real name Dayvon Daquan Bennett was born in the Parkway Gardens neighborhood of Chicago in 1994, and later moved to Atlanta to find peace and escape his hometown. Von was known for his drill-style but managed to carve his own stylistic aesthetics into the genre. He’s best known for one of his biggest hits, 2020’s “Took Her to the O,” which made fans more excited to hear more music from the star. His death came just one week after the release of a new album, Welcome to O’Block. See how fans are laying tribute to the late star:
