Even as a new artist, King Harris has one royal foundation. Raised in Long Beach, developed in Oxnard, California the MC who uses his government name has collaborated with E-40 (“Thirsty”), toured the country with his cousin Jay Rock and Tech N9ne and been a fixture in the studio with Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q. Now, he’s teaming with Gangrene’s Oh No for his debut album, Nightmare On Wolff Street, a breakthrough project in a career and a life that truly stands out.

“Oxnard has always been a breeding ground for that sound that’s popular,” deduces King in a year where natives Madlib and Anderson .Paak have been behind two of 2016’s biggest albums (The Life Of Pablo and Malibu). “When somebody from Oxnard gets on, that’s the little door, and then it turns into a big hole.”

Teaming with Oh No, King hit the lab to create his debut Nightmare On Wolff Street; an album that effectively bridges 1988 with 2016 and is inspired by milestone Cali Hip-Hop classics like Snoop’s Doggystyle and The Game’s The Documentary (The Game appears on King’s “Right Back To The Money,” a funky concoction of break-beats and boastful bars).

With a Top 100 debut release under his belt, and recent premieres with 2dopeboyz, Ambrosiaforheads and Hiphopdx, King returns with the first visual, “Birds Of A Feather,” from his debut album.
