King Von Shines Like a VVS 💎 in His Playful “No Flaws” Video

King Von made his name with visceral storytelling and harrowing realism, but he’s not afraid to cut loose and enjoy himself when the occasion calls. Making a case for himself as the perfect rapper and the perfect man, Von shares “No Flaws,” his new video. Produced by frequent Von collaborator Chopsquad DJ, whose spritely piano melody powers the song, “No Flaws” is a chance for Von to show off his melody and charm, following DJ’s piano with lilting punchlines: “Three cars my garage/I just put a horse in it.” In the video, Von works hard to shine hard, maintaining good habits for oral hygiene as he gives a tour of his cash-strewn home. “No Flaws” is the latest video from Grandson, Vol. 1, Von’s recently released debut mixtape, following the dramatic and romantic “F*ck Yo Man”, which has over 2.2 million views on YouTube.
