Rico Recklezz offered his perspective on the notion of new Chicago rappers emulating the late King Von. The conversation touched on Bloodhound Lil Jeff, with Vlad highlighting critiques that Jeff attempted to mirror King Von's style, specifically in glorifying violence through music. Rico Recklezz remarked that Chicago is saturated with individuals who embody the King Von archetype, emphasizing that many aren’t as publicly visible as Von was. He stated that violence in Chicago has become almost like a competitive sport, highlighting the city's storied history with gang culture and violence. Rico noted that various individuals rap about violent acts whether they commit them or not, making it hard to discern authenticity within the music scene. He further expressed how internet personas can be misleading, with artists claiming body counts for clout. Recklezz humorously noted his fear of the younger generation's gangster personas, stating that he avoids situations where violence might occur.
