KING DEAZEL: INDEPENDENT BY CHOICE, HUMBOLDT PARK, MUSIC, PRISON & “HEIR KING OF THE NORTH”

🎙️ Welcome back to Just My Opinion Podcast! In this episode, we sit down with Chicago artist King Deazel, representing the Humboldt Park neighborhood, for a real and in-depth conversation about his journey through music, life, independence, and everything that helped shape the man behind the music. Deazel joins It’s Just My Opinion to talk about his latest album, “Heir King Of The North,” and the decision to take a completely independent route with the project. Instead of releasing the album through traditional DSP platforms, Deazel chose to release it exclusively through his own website — a move that allowed him to control his music, his business, and his relationship with his supporters. He also talks about the response to the project and generating over $3,000 in sales during the first week. Throughout his career, King Deazel has crossed paths and collaborated with some of Chicago and the Midwest’s most recognizable artists. He reflects on working with artists including Young Pappy, FBG Duck, G Herbo, Bump J, Black Youngsta, Lil Zay Osama, Lil Chris, Fatmoney, Fly Skinz, Young TeeTee, Lul Foe, and many more. We also take a deep dive into Deazel’s “Boats” mixtape series, the inspiration behind the series, and the story behind continuing the tradition with his latest installment, released in January 2026. But this conversation goes far beyond music. Deazel opens up about growing up in Chicago, relationships, life experiences, going to prison, lessons learned, and the experiences that shaped his perspective on life and the music business. He also talks about navigating the industry independently, the people he’s worked with throughout his career, and what he’s learned from the highs and lows of his journey. We also look ahead at what’s next for King Deazel — his future music, upcoming moves, and where he plans to take his career from here. This is a conversation about Chicago, independence, music, perseverance, and building your own lane. 🔥 If you’re a fan of authentic Chicago hip-hop, independent artists, and the stories behind the music, you don’t want to miss this episode. 💬 Let us know your favorite moment from the interview in the comments. 👍 Like, comment, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more real conversations on Just My Opinion Podcast. king 🎙️ IT’S JUST MY OPINION THE PODCAST 🔥 SUBSCRIBE | LIKE | COMMENT | SHARE and follow It’s Just My Opinion The Podcast for more real conversations with artists and creatives. #JustMyOpinionPodcast #KingDeazel #HeirKingOfTheNorth #ChicagoHipHop #ChicagoRap #HumboldtPark #IndependentArtist #ChicagoMusic #Boats #YoungPappy #FBGDuck #GHerbo #BumpJ #LilZayOsama #FlySkinz #Fatmoney #ChicagoPodcast #HipHopPodcast #ItsJustMyOpinion #chicagodrill #chicagoartist 📲 Follow Just My Opinion Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... https://www.instagram.com/itsjustmyop... 📲 Follow the Cast!   / iam_xr     / windycitycreep     / irunthachi5   📲 Follow King Deazel: https://www.facebook.com/share/1F9otw... https://www.instagram.com/kingdeazel_...    / @kingdeazel800     / king-deazel   www.kingdeazel.com
