Chicago rapper King Louie has been around for a minute, but he hasn't gotten the recongition he deserves until signing a deal with major Epic Records. Soon thereafter he appeared on Kanye West's platinum-selling 2013 album "Yeezus" on the track "Send It Up". But don't tell him the feature made him a superstar, because he doesn't feel it's helped him much in the end.

"It didn't really affect my career," King L says during an interview with examiner.com. "I still gotta work hard, or whatever. It's like having something on your resume. It's good, but it ain't no super turn up. People didn't start blowing my phone up like, 'Ah, you're on a song with Kanye.' It's just a good opportunity for confidence, for the craft, and motivation."

But he is thankful the feature earned him a Grammy nomation. "It ain't turned up like that. It got me a Grammy nomination. That's dope. Once I win a Grammy then I think that'll turn me up. 'Cause it really wasn't a co-sign, it was like working with 'Ye. Once I win the Grammy then that'll turn me up, but until then I'm still grinding and striving to get to the top."
