San Bernardino, California, has long been a breeding ground for raw, unfiltered talent, and King of Cali is proving once again why he’s at the forefront of the West Coast rap scene. His latest single, “Patrick Mahomes”, is more than just a song—it’s a statement. Inspired by the mindset of making something out of nothing and mastering the hustle, this track cements King of Cali’s status as one of the best songwriters and lyricists in the game today.
With a distinct sound and powerful message, “Patrick Mahomes” delivers high-energy bars that reflect the grind, resilience, and championship mentality of the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback it’s named after. From the beat selection to the creative process, King of Cali made sure this song embodied the hunger and drive that fuels his career.
The Inspiration Behind “Patrick Mahomes”
For King of Cali, the foundation of this track comes from a deep-rooted hustler’s mentality. “The inspiration behind this record was making something out of nothing—how to become a real hustler,” he explains. Much like Mahomes dominates the football field, King of Cali dominates the mic with his relentless work ethic and undeniable talent. The song is a direct reflection of that grind, serving as motivation for anyone striving to reach the top.
A Statement of His Current Place in the Industry

With a track record of hard-hitting releases and an unmatched work ethic, King of Cali is not just making noise—he’s setting a new standard.
Breaking Down the Lyrics
Lyrically, “Patrick Mahomes” is a declaration of dominance. “The meaning behind the lyrics is pretty much telling everyone that we are the top dogs in California, and there is no one out here out grinding us or out hustling us,”says King of Cali. The song serves as an anthem for those who refuse to be outworked, sending a message that success is built on perseverance, consistency, and ambition.
The Creative Process
When it comes to making music, King of Cali follows a formula that has yet to fail him. “My creative process is pretty much the same with every song. First, I have to find the beat. If I fall in love with the beat, the lyrics come to me—basically, the beat makes the lyrics,” he shares. This organic approach allows him to tap into the raw energy of the instrumental and craft verses that perfectly complement the sound.
Collaboration with Gentle Beats
Behind every great track is a producer who brings the vision to life. For “Patrick Mahomes”, that producer was Gentle Beats. “It was a great process. He has a very versatile but still very distinctive sound. Him and I have some more hits to come soon,” King of Cali reveals. The chemistry between the two artists is undeniable, and fans can expect more heat from this dynamic duo in the near future.
A Preview of What’s to Come
While some artists drop singles as standalone records, “Patrick Mahomes” is just the beginning. “Yes, this single is leading to one of the biggest projects in 2025, with a very similar cadence to this single,” King of Cali confirms. This means fans should gear up for an entire body of work that carries the same intensity, motivation, and high-energy sound that “Patrick Mahomes” delivers.
The Fans’ Response
If there’s one thing that’s been consistent throughout King of Cali’s career, it’s his ability to connect with his audience. “They love the record. The fans are saying there isn’t that much money music out here anymore, and I give them that void,” he says. In an era where rap music often leans toward melodic or emotional storytelling, King of Cali is bringing back the motivational, get-money anthems that push people to chase their dreams.
Experimenting with a New Sound
Even seasoned artists step outside their comfort zones to evolve their artistry. “Yeah, I did. This is the first time I ever tried this sound. It is very different from all my other songs,” King of Cali admits. Taking risks and exploring new sounds is what separates good artists from great ones, and this shift in style proves that King of Cali is not afraid to elevate his craft.
What’s Next?
