Ron Killings (born January 19, 1972 in Georgia) is an American professional wrestler and rapper, currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. He is the second African American NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

Biography


RK was born in Georgia but grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. His family struggled to make ends meet as a result of low-paying jobs and periods of unemployment, and his father supplemented the family income by selling cannabis. While Killings occasionally helped his father, he aspired to become a musician. After moving to Charlotte, Killings became enamoured of hip hop music and breakdancing.

Throughout his high school career, Killings was a successful track runner and football player. He was offered college scholarships, but turned them down in order to pursue a career in music. By the time he left school at the age of sixteen, Killings had met rappers such as Tupac Shakur and Eazy-E, and was determined to become a rapper himself. He joined a talent agency named Ice Productions and became an opening act for performers such as MC Lyte and 3rd Bass. In order to fund his burgeoning career, Killings became a drug dealer. He spent three years dealing, earning enough in the process to pay for a recording studio, and began working on a debut album. After he heard that there was interest in his album, Killings decided to take part in one last drug deal in order to earn the necessary capital to finish his album. However, he was arrested after one of his friends tipped-off the police. Killings spent thirteen months in jail, and became determined to stop dealing drugs and to obtain a legitimate job.
