With Krept growing up in Gipsy Hill and Konan growing up in Thornton Heath, they started in their neighbourhoods from an early age. As time went on krept and konan became friends outside of music and in due time realised we both had a musical talent in mc/rapping. It was then only a matter of time when they both came together to make a few songs for the fun of it. The songs had the streets going crazy, everybody had them on their phones, it is then when they realised their music potential. Unfortunately later down the line in 2007 konan went into incarceration for a whole year which had a major effect on their music path. Krept did not concentrate on music during konan’s incarceration, and at this point music was not in the picture for either of them. However in 2008 Konan was then released from jail and music was still not in the picture for either krept or konan.
A few weeks after konan’s release a friend of both krept and konan had a studio who occasionally invited them round to make tracks here and there. As these tracks were released their fanbase began to grow again it was then when they both decided to put more effort into the music. The two then started doing music videos, freestyle videos and releasing more tracks as time went on and the fanbase continued to grow. Both krept and konan then released a mixtape together called “Redrum” which was made due to high demand. At this point it was clear to everyone that krept and konan became a duo in the music scene, and at this moment all they were missing was a name. This is where Krept and konan both came to the decision of the name “Play Dirty”. They are now an official group which will be expanding in the future to more artists producers etc..
Last Night
Krept & Konan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Money hid in the couch
Got your chick in the house
With my dick in her mouth
I'll bet you're listening now
Police sniffing around
'Cause I'm big in the north and I'm big in the south
Bring my tour to your town, make you sit in the crowd
Just like my business account
'Cause I grind like I'm broke, flight to the show
Done about five in a row, mind on my dough
But I still slide in your hoe like I didn't know
You can get it right off the boat, right from my phone
Let me just type in a code, life on the road
Go ahead, try it if you want, I bet you won't
And I've got a knife in my coat I hide on the low
Round here, it's do or you die, die if you don't
And they talk like they're here but they're never in the bits
We've got it locked from the 7 to the 6
I know I shouldn't be telling you this shit
I know you're friends but it's better when you kiss
So fuck all the talk, get straight to the action
Party in the 6 and I'm drunk in a mansion
Canadian girl said she loving my accent
I left with your girl but I came with the mandem
I go to shows from coast to coast
In Novikov, propose a toast
I'm known to win, I go for gold
She home alone, she phone my phone
I'm like her drug, she overdose
They know the ends, they know I'm road
They know I'm street, they know the code
My head's hot, my shoulders cold
I roll with Muj, smoke the doj'
Big spliff, roll the roach
Slick Rick on the code
Tick tick, Roley's gold
DSTRKT, loads of hoes
Mixed with gold Patrón
Big tits, show me those
Quick dick, drove her home
Biscuits, Toblerone
Flip bricks? No, you don't
Big whips? No, you're broke
Click click, holy ghost
Switch kicks, throw my clothes
Calling my name, that's a real risk
I've thought about it and I'm still pissed
'Cause I don't care if you're new or a legend
You saw what happened to Will Smith
I'm the wrong one to start off
All they've sold is a half oz
Now everybody thinks they're Escobar
Looked at my DJ like nah, Cos
They're taking this ting too far, Cos
They want the throne but it's ours, Cos
If they want, we can swing it out
Just know I've got the ting parked off
You're talking tough but you need to stop
You don't put in work, you need a job
Look, I ain't even been on Breakfast Club
But they envy when they see the god, oh
Can't talk to me, talk to my PR
These dickheads think that they're cowboys
Till they end up in the ER
Summertime in my fur coat
7 sides on these dirt roads
We went from having scraps to 9s
While my big bros went down the church roads
(Jesus Christ!)
Went from a road yout to a rock star
Got bread, now I get Pop-Tarts
The ends is fucked and they blame us for it
So, you know what? I made a foundation to make up for it (fuck off!)
I know that shit just went over your head as well, man
It always does, man
I don't wanna hear these niggas talking about bars anymore, man
It's fucking embarrassing, fucking draw-out
You know who runs this shit, man (come on, G!)
(Play) Look out for the boy Golden Muj (come on, G!)
(Dirty) Tally, I see you, my bro (come on, G!)
Play Dirty every time (that's all I think about)
Oi, Misch, lock that off, man, I'm finished
Yeah eh, so Konan, when are you gonna come back to Canada?
From the 7 to the 6 baby, come on, G!
The lyrics of Krept & Konan's song Last Night in LA seem to talk about the rapper's rise to fame. In the opening lyrics, Krept references his days of hustling and flipping an ounce to earn money, but now he's a successful rapper, with a lot of money in his pocket. He asserts his popularity in both the north and south, and he can bring his tour to any town he wants. He also boasts of sleeping with someone's girl and having control over his drug business, even to the point of having a code for it. The song seems to be about Krept & Konan making it in the music industry despite coming from humble beginnings, drugs, and dirty street life.
In the second verse, Konan takes over and addresses his success and challenges. He claims to be the dominant force in the rap scene and boasts about his flashy lifestyle, including attending grand parties and drinking expensive alcohol. However, he acknowledges the fact that some people still see him as just a road youth turned rockstar, not a legitimate rapper. He is unapologetic in his pursuit of success, even as he acknowledges the challenges of coming from the ends where life is difficult, and each day is a hustle.
Overall, the song Last Night in LA is a portrayal of Krept & Konan's experiences: the struggles, the successes, and ambitions. They seem to depict their newfound status with pride, all the while still paying homage to their street roots.

No matter what you say, this will always be FIRE. I love the album and I've been waiting for the video so BOOM. For those that just chat shit about them, check out some of their interviews and you'll see why they're not firing with crazy punchlines all the time. I think you'll start to understand and let them make their money in peace after that. Bye
