King Los, Skate Maloley

Carlos "King Los" Coleman knows his mission in life. "I want to be the greatest
rapper ever," the Baltimore native says with an unwavering confidence. "I'm just
trying to exhibit the best rap stuff you ever heard."

The goal sounds like a lofty one, but when you listen to Los rhyme, things don't
sound so far-fetched. After releasing his first mixtape in 2008 Los has dropped
14 projects; all of which display expert lyricism. His latest, God, Money, War is a
layered look into the complexities of man, all built around tightly woven rhyme
schemes and every man reliability.

"It's the story of a kid from Baltimore, involved with all kinds of stuff, inspired to be
one of the best rappers on the planet," he says of the project.
Los' love affair with rapping began when he was just 16 years old, after the
murder of his father. He'd write poetry to help cope with the loss and by the time
he turned 18, Los graduated high school and developed a reputation as a
promising MC.

By 2005, he signed to Diddy's Bad Boy Entertainment through local Baltimore
imprint Bloc Incorporated, but the business end of deal didn't work out so he hit
the mixtape scene to build a buzz and master his craft.

As fate would have it, Diddy continued to seek out King Los and signed him to
Bad Boy again in 2012; this time without the middleman. With the famed-music
mogul in his corner Los continued to grow and develop a reputation as a top-tier
MC, sought-after ghostwriter expert freestyle artist.

He's been celebrated his 2014 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher and last March's
"Sway in the Morning" radio freestyle has garnered over 2.5 million views on
YouTube. Los also hit the Billboard charts for the first time in his career in 2013
when he appeared on French Montana's "Ocho Cinco."

Last year, Los signed a new deal with RCA Records through After Platinum and
88 Classic. God, Money, War, is the first release from the partnership.
"I had a concept and an idea to create a project that expanded the conversation,
no matter what the conversation was," he says about the project's theme. "I just
wanted to show a perspective of where I'm from and the kind of conversations I
have with the people that I'm closest to, being from Baltimore."

The project's first single does exactly that. On "War," Los writes from the
perspective of a street hustler who feels he has no options. With the DJ Mustardproduced
"Can't Fade Us," King Los paints a picture of a party with money falling
from the sky. It's all inspired by street figures who have seen better days.
