"Crazy Story, Pt. 3" is a song by American rapper King Von, released on September 13, 2019, as a single extracted from Von's mixtape Grandson, Vol. 1.[1][2][3] It is the continuation of the first two chapters, Crazy Story and Crazy Story 2.0, which song features the rapper Lil Durk and represents the second part of a trilogy of storytelling based songs. Crazy Story, Pt. 3 was certified triple platinum by Recording Industry Association of America on August 10, 2022, having sold more than a million certified units since its release.[4] The song was produced by Chopsquad DJ.
The song is characterized by a rapped style in very vivid and richly detailed storytelling and as for the first two chapters, it is centered around a realistic story based on lived experiences of Bennett, and where he is the protagonist, Talking about an attempted robbery that is revealed as a set up against Von himself favored by a girl, that leading to Von being shot and car chased till the police makes Von and his oppositor divide, as some lyrics of the song report: "Plus I got one arm I'm tryna drive, I can't shoot back now This man on my ass, I almost crash But I got the wheel, he tryna keep it real But there go 12, he bust a quick right And I just bust a left". Later in the story Von, in response to the previous occurrence, will have revenge by ambushing and killing the girl and shooting at the same man who shot him before.[5]
The music video was released on January 30, 2020. It frames King Von who retraces the story describing the facts to a friend of his, therefore with interspersed scenes in both first and third person.[6]
