He dropped his first mixtape, Los Freestyles, in 2000 and enjoyed a moderate buzz, before trying out for, and making, the final cut of MTV's Making The Band in 2002. But he opted out, "I didn't want to be in a group," Los explains. Diddy, however, remembered Los, and after a 10-minute freestyle audition, he finally signed him in early 2006. After nearly two years on the roster, though, Los left when a legal situation with his other label, the Baltimore-based indie Da Bloc Inc., soured the deal.
After the split, Los has built his brand online, releasing several critically acclaimed mixtapes and a slew of freestyles that displayed his uncanny wordplay. "As quickly as he raps and as much as he is really saying, I would put him in a category of a Jadakiss, Nas, or even go as far as Eminem." says DJ Ill Will.
In 2012, Los rejoined Bad Boy records. In 2014, he left the label again. Regardless of what his label situation is, King Los is one of the most talented rappers in the game.
