"Lurkin" is a song by American rapper King Von and American DJ and rapper Funkmaster Flex. It was released on October 22, 2020, as a collaborative single.[1][2] On July 16, 2021, a remix for the song was released and it featured Chicago rapper Polo G, the remix was entitled "Lurkin 2.0".[3]
The song was initially intended to be part of Funkmaster Flex's debut project, which was set to include various collaborations with different hip hop artists. However, the project was never released. This song became the first track to be released from that intended collection.[2][4][5]
"Lurkin" represents one of the first posthumous records released from the late King Von, and it was unveiled by Funk Flex. The track, which spans just under two minutes, showcases Von's gritty storytelling over a beat produced by BMC Beats, Grant Gardner, and Funk Flex. In an interview with HotNewHipHop's Aron A., Taylor explained that Bennett initially wasn't a fan of the instrumental, but that despite his initial reluctance, Taylor convinced him to trust his vision. Their first face-to-face meeting occurred in New York after previously communicating via FaceTime. Taylor noted that Bennett had a strong interest in cars, which helped them connect during their meeting.[6] The track delves into King Von's experiences with street life in Chicago.
