King Los

King Los, born Carlos Coleman on March 23, 1982, in Baltimore, Maryland, is an American rapper celebrated for his rapid-fire delivery, dense wordplay, and freestyle prowess. He built his early reputation through mixtapes such as «G5: Certified Fly» and a string of viral freestyles, including standout appearances on «Sway in the Morning» and with the L.A. Leakers, which showcased his technical command of rhyme schemes and multisyllabic flows.

Los signed with Diddy’s Bad Boy Records in 2005 through his Bloc Incorporated deal, and after that arrangement dissolved he continued releasing music independently before re-signing with Bad Boy in 2012, then distributed through Interscope Records. He left that partnership in 2014 and later found a home with RCA Records, where he issued his first official commercial project, «God, Money, War», in 2015, positioning it as a prelude to a full debut album.

Throughout his career Los has been respected within hip-hop circles as a lyricist’s lyricist, often praised more for pure rap skill than for mainstream chart success. His catalog blends introspective storytelling with aggressive punchline-driven verses, and tracks like «Everybody’s A Bitch» and «War» reflect his ability to shift between combative bravado and reflective commentary, cementing his standing as one of Baltimore’s most technically gifted rappers.
